Dyeing Wool with Kool-Aid!!!



Now that my wool is all clean I can start to dye it!  Kool-aid works really well.  The colors aren't solid, but varigated.  I used about an ounce of wool with one packet of Kool-aid and heated it in the microwave for 3 minutes.  I let it sit for about 30 minutes and then rinsed.  I can't wait to card the wool to see how the colors turn out when the wool is brushed!

Not only does the Kool-aid produce beautiful, bright colors, it also smells really nice!  My kitchen smelled of lemon, black cherry, and blue raspberry lemonade!
