very beautiful! i dyed some of bostons wool covers in kool aid a long time ago! i was shocked to see it work too! this yarn is much bolder and prettier than what i did though!! the vinegar is key!

I've HEARD that. . . . Read about it. Dying is fascinating. . . . If you've ever heard about the process they (used to?) use to get indigo, :wow AMAZING.

:cool Thanks for sharing that.

what is koolaid?

[righteous mama]

Kool-Aid (http://www.kraftfoods.com/koolaid/) is a sugary powdered drink mix that most of us on the board use for either dye'ing or playdoh coloring. :giggle The colors are gorgeous...unless you actually think about them going into your body.
