Who didn't love a glass of ice cold Kool-Aid on a hot summer day when they were a kid? My favorite flavor was always lemonade, but now I love ALL of the
flavors colors! I'm not drinking it though...I'm dyeing wool yarn with it! I began with
this tutorial from
Knit Purl Gurl, a few packages of Kool-Aid and a skein of Patons Classic Wool. My crock pot was not large enough to hold the yarn, so I used a large glass baking dish (with a lid) and the oven (set at 325 degrees) instead, but other than that the process remained the same.
As you can see, my yarn turned out beautifully and I'm afraid that I am now hopelessly addicted to Kool-Aid!

Your yarn came out great! I love those colors! :0)
You have to stop teasing with all the wonderful yarn projects I have to stay focus on quilt projects - but just a little question, you really used kool-aid and got all those wonderful colors???
Ok I saw Noel's lesson on how to dye with Kool aide but I don't belive it was like this ,how did you get 3 colors at one time and I love the way you twisted it ,you must have alot of patience!
Love the colors together.
Very kool, Susan.
That is amazing, the colours are gorgeous.
Susan-
You were right about the wonderful Kool-aid colors. I guess I'll have to try this with Hannah.
It's gorgeous! I like to dye yarn too but don't do it often. Unfortunately, I can dye it much faster than I can knit it.
Brilliant Susan- it came out so well. Thanks for popping in.
That is beautiful!
I can't believe that yarn color came from Koolaid. Really, truly? If so, I'm never drinking it again.
Wow! That's beautiful! I love it!
