So I have made an attempt at dyeing my own yarn using Kool-aid. I'm pretty happy with the results and plan to try it again. I wanted something that was autumn colors. I used 6 different colors, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple and green. The green was used at the end and only a 1/2 packet to help darken the colors. At this point I wasn't thrilled with the results.
I didn't think the light spots blended well or that they looked very autumn-ish. So I decided to over dye it one more time using red again but this time only a half packet for the whole skein. I am much happier with the end result.
and in a pretty little cake. (I think this picture is truer to the color)
Today I will cast on using this yarn for
