This morning I was looking through a book on weaving and Ryan became inspired to dye our own yarns. So we hopped in the car for a quick trip to the store to buy lots and lots of
Kool Aid packets. It is a great way to dye yarns, wool and fabrics with kids because it is non-toxic and it makes the kitchen smell yummy. Ryan and I love to see what new colors we can create!
This came out amazing!! The colors are beautiful. I can't decide if I love the green or the red -orange more. I am
excited now to buy more yarn and dye enough to make myself a winter hat! Or make one for Tony - the green would look great with a brown yarn and would be very masculine.
My first attempt at a space dyed yarn. It has hard to tell in the picture, but the dark red is the prettiest red I've ever seen!! Tomorrow
I'm going to knit this yarn into something - not sure what though, there is not much there.
This is a cotton yarn and I love the softness of the colors. It is hard to believe this came from
Kool Aid! This we are going to use in a weaving project.
