Dying wool with Flavor-aid


I used Flavor-aid to dye some wool, yesterday. Making Easter Baskets…
left is Kiwi-Watermelon and Orange, Tamarindo, Root Beer and Cherry, Jamacia flavors…

It’s by Jel Sert. Just like Kool-aid but more colors for dying like the browns. Smell pretty good when you are dying the yarn…

Wow, that is really cool! I love the Jamica color. I just got some dye-your-own wool and I’m really excited to see how that adventure will turn out.
And again, I love your dyeing job! Thanks for sharing!

i love the more natural colors you were able to do. today i was reading at knitty how to dye with koolaid and wishing there were more earthy colors and you post your beautiful yarns. gracias and good job!

root beer flavor aide!!! whats that taste like

cool yarn!

LOVE LOVE your dyeing :smiley:

Taste just like Root Beer…

cool idea! have you tried washing it yet? fading? does it smell odd?

well i thought i’d ask. cause root beer popsicles do not taste like root beer!

What is Flavor Aid? A drink mix like Kool Aid? Pretty yarns!
