Kool Aid and food coloring will not dye cotton. It'll stain (and look like a stain) but you will not get the look of a dyed shirt.

Therefore, my prep time for my yarn ended up being closer to two hours! I soaked in water and vinegar, and the yarn took to the cubes IMMEDIATELY. I did one with natural wool (using sherbet colors like lemonade, pink lemonade, blueberry and some creative mixes) and another with a grey yarn base, (using black cherry, grape, grape/blueberry mix). For a first try, I call this a success.

Am I right when I think that KA only works with animalistic fibers (not cotton or acrylic)?<br />And why do you and winegear to the yarn before coloring it? And how much water and winegear do you use for, lets say, 4 ounces?<br />If you could reply to malin@byklargren.se I'd be truly greatful!<br />Thank you for a great blog!<br />Best wishes // MalinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391643844493396120.post-39584333929244364172013-03-11T06:35:04.043-07:002013-03-11T06:35:04.043-07:00PRECIOUS wee men-folk, and they look so HAPPY with...PRECIOUS wee men-folk, and they look so HAPPY with their new hats!Deborah Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211999112146380759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391643844493396120.post-43595065772729979992013-03-11T01:55:25.986-07:002013-03-11T01:55:25.986-07:00I just got a post from a friend about your dyeing ...I just got a post from a friend about your dyeing yarn with Kool Aid.
