I had been reading about dyeing yarn with Kool-Aid and my mom had some wool yarn, so I got about 8 ounces from her and gave it a try! I've never dyed anything before (other than tie-dye with RIT) so it was a new experience, but fun!

This is the yarn soaking in cool water prior to the dyeing process.

This is the dye in the slow cooker waiting for the yarn. I used 6 cups of water, 2 cups of vinegar and 8 packets of Kool-Aid.
Here the yarn is in the dye just starting the dyeing process.
I cooked the yarn and dye on low setting for 3 hours until the water was clear.
The yarn is all done!

Even though my ties were very loose, I still ended up with a small undyed area.
