I don't think I'm being too generous when I say that Kool-aid is the best thing that ever happened to my knitting. I've dyed yarn twice, and I always get hungry to do it again when I see other people's fantastic results. Liz has some awesome examples on her blog. Then yesterday, I saw this. HELLO! I'm totally jumping on this bandwagon when Easter rolls around. I also read that coffee makes a good dye - I think I might try dyeing yarn with espresso and blue raspberry Kool-aid to get a cocoa/robin's egg blue effect. Now I just need to find some crappy coffee. Oh, wait. I wonder if those used coffee grounds that Starbucks gives away for free could be reconstituted into a yarn dye... or is that too nasty?
