This was my first attempt at using kool-aid, I did it the same way as when I use jelly, but without adding vinegar. I ended up with purple hands though! Next time I'll wear gloves Very Happy

Very nice Dianne!

Sally, I've got socks made with Kool Aid dyed yarn and the colours are still as good as when I dyed them. They've been worn and washed a lot! Very Happy
