Today we dye

After spinning and plying all of the fiber, it was time for my favorite part of the entire process, dyeing the yarn! We decided to use a technique using....................

Kool-Aid!!

Tropical Punch and Cherry to be specific.

First I mixed the two Kool-aid packs with water and placed the undyed yarn in the pot, then heated it to almost boiling. The next step was to turn the burner off, cover the pot and let it sit for 30 minutes while all of the fibers soaked up the dye.

Unfortunately I have no good pictures of the ball of dyed yarn, but when I post the pictures of the knitting process you will be able to see how it turned out!
