dying with kool-aide


Finally did it, tried to dye some yarn using kool-aide. I had a skein of Lion Brand Aran in off white that I knew I would never knit up into anything and I was told that the lighter colors of wool often do not felt well. Seemed to take forever to put up into two skeins.

I used cherry, lemon-lime, lemonaide, and twisted blueberry for the colors. Put the wet skeins in two microwave safe dishes and rotated nuking each one for two minutes. Not sure how I like it, but my dgd wanted colorful yarn. So, here it is hanging from the shower head.
