My adventure with Kool Aid

so...I tried dying yarn with Kool Aid last August.

I used one skein of Brown Sheep and just gave it a whirl.

Here is the yarn before dying...have to let it soak in hot water.



Here is the yarn cooking..think it is black cherry flavor.



And here are the final products:

Tangerine:



Black Cherry:



I used the orange in a felted kitty pi cat bed and the color did not run at all! It is still quite orange.

Ok...ok...I know, you knit your cat a bed? I have to tell you he loves it! I will post a photo when I find it on my hard drive or go take another photo!

I have heard you can use regular concentrated paste food dye to dye yarn...might try that cuz the Kool Aid gives the yarn a weird smell.

Gotta go...my gorgeous two year old is "playing" read wrecking my cd & dvd drives.

Heres a cute photo of my two little ones.



Aren't they just the cutest things? I know, I am a very proud Mom!
