How this calculator works
Calculate acid dye grams from yarn weight and depth of shade. Planning estimates only — verify measurements independently. Dye g = yarn g × (DOS % ÷ 100). Example: 100 g yarn at 1.5% DOS → 1.5 g dye powder (estimate).
Dye g = yarn g × (DOS % ÷ 100).
Example: 100 g yarn at 1.5% DOS → 1.5 g dye powder (estimate).
When to use this Acid Dye Depth-of-Shade
Common use cases
- Calculate acid dye grams from yarn weight and depth of shade.
- Sanity-check with this case: 100 g yarn at 1.5% DOS → 1.5 g dye powder (estimate).
- The relationship is: Dye g = yarn g × (DOS % ÷ 100).
Localized examples
- Event Planning & Niche Hobbies: the example on this page uses the same formula as the widget.
What you get
- Fields: Yarn weight (g), Depth of shade (%)
- Dye g = yarn g × (DOS % ÷ 100).
- Example on the page: 100 g yarn at 1.5% DOS → 1.5 g dye powder (estimate).
How to Calculate Acid Dye Depth-of-Shade Step-by-Step
- 1Enter Yarn weight (g), Depth of shade (%). Use the values you have, not a catalog average, unless that is all you know.
- 2Dye g = yarn g × (DOS % ÷ 100).
- 3Worked case: 100 g yarn at 1.5% DOS → 1.5 g dye powder (estimate).
- 4Order a little extra. Resin, fabric, and clay do not read a spreadsheet.
Governing formula
Dye g = yarn g × (DOS % ÷ 100).
100 g yarn at 1.5% DOS → 1.5 g dye powder (estimate).
Example: set Yarn weight (g) = 100, Depth of shade (%) = 1.5, then read the result.

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.
