Kool-Aid Dyed Yarn
How I dye yarn with Kool-Aid. I use the stove top - the water and yarn get very hot so be careful not to burn yourself if you try this method. Kids shouldn't do this.

How do you re-skein those LOOOONG skeins? Aren't they un-ruly?

lukewarm is not hot and not cold, generally a bit warmer than room temperature.

I made a felted bag with Kool-Aid dyed yarn, and the colors didn't change at all. This method won't work on cotton or synthetics. Use pure wool or other animal fiber for best results.

Also, does this work with any kind of yarn? I heard you could only dye yarn made from all natural fiber (wool or cotton, not the common polyester/acrylic)

Very fun, I can't wait to try it. But how does this "dye" hold up with washing?

Pretty! That looks like fun, too. I might have to try it. =)
