Painting with Kool-Aid

Here’s the yarn I made earlier this week after the kids went to bed. I was quite surprised to get colors this vibrant working with Kool-Aid. Very fun! Check back tomorrow for a link to a very basic yarn dyeing tutorial.

Awesome yarn! You can dye any protein based material with kool-aid. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard that dying silk scarves is really fun (and cheaper than buying play silks). We’re planning to do this when the weather warms up a bit (I’m in Utah and it’s currently snowing, but won’t stick much). You can get scarves here pretty inexpensively: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/1741-AA.shtml?lnav=scarves_silk.html.

Also, I wanted to thank you for all the effort you’re putting into the blog. I don’t tend to comment much, but I check in every day to see what you’re up to – I hope you are seeing increased traffic at least!
