I am wanting to dye my first yarn, and am looking for suggestions on the best way to start. Do I start on spun yarn? Koolaid dye?? Thanks for any help. Michele
Michele, One thing to consider is that different fibers may dye differently, so say if you test a color on acrylic yarn and then dye hand spun wool with the same color it may come out different! I have used kool-aid with pretty good results, but I finally got commercial dyes because I was too nervous about the kool-aid possibly fading! I have had food coloring fade very bad on me so personally for me I wouldn't recommend it! Hope this helps and have fun!!
