craftgrrl | painting with koolaid.

i've dyed wool roving with koolaid before & felted it, but i've never tried to dye yarn. here is my first try with yarn "harvested" from unravelled thriftshop sweater one.

the process:

the outcome:

the next batch (sweater two in the photo, i'm going to leave sweater three as is since i do love the green) i am just going to do solid colours because the yarn is darker and won't take "painting" so well. now i just have to figure out what i'm going to do with all this stuff since i estimated the yardage from just sweater one to be around 770yds. & i certainly don't want to make another sweater. hehe.
