Here is the second edited video from the livestream where I gave a sneak peek of what some of my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/ChemKnits rewards would look like!  I dyed a KnitPicks Sock Yarn http://shrsl.com/uva9 (affiliate link) with a PAAS color whip kit.  We got some really amazing fun swirls of colors in the blank.  Will we end up with a variegated yarn or just one solid color?  Watch the edited video to find out!  (Or you can check out the livestream here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoU_N8Bxcig)
