Oooooh pretty! I plan to hunt for some... ok LOTS of wool when I go home next month so I can dye dye dye *g* I'm gonna have my friends haunt the easter sections of their stores and grab me up lots of tablets too hehehe. I bet the Dollar Tree and Dollar General type stores have some dyes too, might be a good source for after Easter sales...

Looks lovely! I tried my hand at Kool Aid dyeing this weekend too (you can read it on my crochet blog). It's fun! Can't wait to find some more regular wool to dye.

i used a syringe leftover from some of the kids antibiotics. I'm gonna try some more this weekend and try to get some real subtle shading on it from orange to red to burgundy to purple. I'm wanting a sunset in a hank!!

WOW these are very pretty. I especially love the vibrant colors in the second picture.
I must bust out the 10 million packs of kool aid that I bought quite some time ago!

Thanks! I just bought some food coloring dyes to try as well. I think 3olive has used them too. I got the regular and the neon.
