Salt Shaker for the WIN! This is the best in depth speckling technique visual aid out there! Thank You!

Hi Nicole. Thank you for all the video contents, always really helpful and informative :) Salt shaker is a great tip! But why don't using citric acid powder (maybe powdered to a finer state with a blender) instead of fine salt? Did you tried that?

Yes I did, on my first speckle video on this channel (4 ways to speckle). I used a grinder to get the citric acid into a fine powder. I prefer salt, it's cheaper and I'm using it as a carrier for the dye to adhere to and create a more uniform speckle. Also, citric acid here in the US went from $50 for 50 pounds to $130 and last I paid, $219. If cheap salt does the same job as expensive citric acid, why would I use it? I'm not doing small batches for myself. I'm dyeing thousands of skeins a year and that cost difference could easily run me hundreds in losses over a year.

Do you always soak with Citric Acid and Synthrapol?

Yes. If you don't soak with at least acid, how are the speckles going to stick where they land? The synthrapol is a fantastic whetting agent that rinses out easily and gives me far less patchy results.

No, you need a certain amount of white space for the speckle to pop. You definitely can flip it over, but not cold. You heat set it, flip hot, speckle the back, put it back in for another 30 minutes
