Dyed in the Wool

Here is a short tutorial showing how I Kool-Aid paint :)


My supplies lined up. Several colors of Kool-Aid, a jug of vinegar, and a stainless steel pan filled halfway with water.



The wool soaking in a vinegar/water mix



The first color (berry blue here) is mixed into part of the yarn



After adding red (strawberry) to the other. I sprinkle it over, mix it under the water and let the color disperse. If your water is hot enough the color will immediately 'strike' or set onto the wool and it won't bleed into other colors.



The finished roving spun and plied.
