#indiedyer #indiedyed #indiedyedyarn #handdyed #handdyedyarn #fibrereactive #fiberreactive #cottonyarn #handpainted #rainbow I love rainbows! And in this video I hand paint a rainbow over 10 skeins of cotton yarn for my friend Nisha from Aethereal Creations who is creating crochet Goddess kits. Please check out her shop at https://veiledmarket.com/shop/aethere... for more of her amazing crafts. You can buy the Goddess crochet kit that this yarn was dyed for here: https://veiledmarket.com/product/godd... As cotton is a plant based fibre, it needs to be soaked in soda ash and only fibre reactive dyes will dye it. Acid dyes may stain cotton, but it's a lot of work for maybe a tiny amount of colour.
