'We love breaking food coloring (i.e. watching the different colors in a mixture separate on yarn) here at ChemKnits. Let\'s chat about how you can tell if your food coloring mixture will break, what colors bind to wool yarn first, and how to maximize the color breaking. I like to start with 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar in 8 cups of water when I want to break colors. You want the greatest difference in the rates that the colors absorb to see multiple hues. The Wilton Color Right food coloring system https://amzn.to/2NJGm90 (Affiliate Link) has 8 different colors, 5 of which contain a single food coloring molecule (the ones I chatted about in this video.)
