Great work! I just had my first yarn dyeing experience the other day and am totally hooked! I ran out to the store for heaps of kool aid today.

Thanks for sharing your results. They look awesome!!

Your yarn turned out so pretty!! Makes me want to try!

Hmmm....I just got some wool yarn in a trade and I'm waiting for a bunch of Kool-Aid to come in as well (hey, my kids actually drink the stuff, so I'm gonna have to hide what I want to use for dyeing). Got to try this and make a shawl or something (I don't have a whole lot of wool, but it should be enough for a shawl.)

Woo hoo! I've recently tried dyeing for the first time, too, and it's loads of fun. I love your swirly pink skeing. If you'd like some blue Kool-Aid, PM me; there's loads around here. If you want to see pictures of it, here's my blog entry about Kool-Aid dyeing. (http://mcrochets.blogspot.com/2005/07/kool-aid-dyeing.html)
