The Hawaiian Punch I used was in little packages and obviously didn't have sugar added, just like the Kool-aid. Food coloring works good, but the Wilton's Icing dye is the best for vibrant colors IMO.Tami Klockauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652939575098493098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-24152058716480389572011-01-04T18:24:35.422-08:002011-01-04T18:24:35.422-08:00Wow, that turned out awesome!

I've heard you can do it with Easter egg dyes, too, but I hadn't heard about Hawaiian Punch or food coloring.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275613250338414310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-52211805344219402552011-01-04T14:47:15.055-08:002011-01-04T14:47:15.055-08:00Kathleen, I did! the darker, purply-blue is the fo...Kathleen, I did! the darker, purply-blue is the food coloring.

To be honest, I own a book for dyeing but haven't used it yet. I started out using a tutorial online, but pretty much just wing it. Here's the link: http://www.knitpurlgurl.com/2009/06/my-first-attempt-at-dyeing-yarn.html<br /><br />Pentalia, thank you! I've been pretty happy with most of it so far. It's so fun to see how it turns out once dried.Tami Klockauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652939575098493098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537943107691885690.post-72076604969276396822011-01-04T08:02:06.942-08:002011-01-04T08:02:06.942-08:00Love, love, love your dyed yarns!
