This was so informative , I mean Koolaid who ever thought?? I have some cotton crochey thread that has kinda yellowed a little more like an off white and I had no idea what to do with it . Im going to try this and see what happens thanks,!

Fun to watch. Learned a lot. No I am a coward, I’ll leave dyeing to the exppert or brave at heart.

Dyeing always intimidated me, but it seems so quick and easy with this demo. I may just have to try my hand (or tongs) at it someday!

Dyeing is so fun and easy!

I started in Koolaid, but was disappointed by the lack of colors available.

I’ve moved on to food dyes using vinegar to set the dye.

I also dye in the microwave (typically roving and uncombed washed wool)

It is so much fun to see what the color will do.

I have 1400 yards of Columbia that I got at Rhinebeck last year - maybe now I will have the courage to dye it! Thanks for a great demo.
