Mixed Koolaid Dyeing

[Roxanne]

Ever tried some mixing of Koolaid to dye yarn? I am pretty surprised with the colours I got actually...a little more toned down and not so vibrant but still quite nice. The two lace weight skeins I did are the same colour...just the second skein has a little food colour added to it to increase the colour of the red and blue.

Beautiful! Isn't mixing fun? I've got some wool on order to play with and want to do more mixing.

I've done quite a bit of it Roxanne. I save my dishwashing bottles to use as "squirters". Plus then if I don't use all the mixture, it's ready for the next time!

That turned out beautiful! I'm in awe. I've tried koolaid dyeing twice - just playing around. You amaze me.

I had kids dyr little tapestry skeins of yarn. They enjoyed it and they smelled good. We used jars ans I let the kids shake them a bit. They were facinated.

That is beautiful. I would love to do something like that. Where did you learn how to dye yarn? And with koolaid? I think that is the most economical use of koolaid I have ever seen and it turned out so great! LOVE IT!

I've read a lot online about dyeing yarn to figure out how to do it. There are a lot of tutorials online for Koolaid dyeing too if you Google it. And thanks for the compliment too!

What colors did you mix to get the blue, it is gorgeous! I have mixed colors, but with food coloring too. Everything looked icky and black and dirty and then I nuked it and I got gorgeous (purples and orange) colors, here.
