Kool Aid- Its not just for Sugar Highs Anymore.

The local yarn store was offering a class in Yarn Dying, using the perennial favorite of small children- Kool Aid packets. You know, the 20 cents per packet found in flavors such as Lemonade, Cherry, and Very Purple Grape, which taste nothing like Cherry, Lemon, or Grape and requires a full two cups of sugar to make it taste good.

The blue yarn in this picture I believe was fruit punch, and the very cool purple yarn was made with good old standard grape.

The other two skeins were made with Cake Icing, painted on. It was fun, very easy to do, and very child friendly, and the color will stay, although I'm told it will fade in the sun.
