Kool Aid Yarn

Image
I have joined the Pinners on Pinterest.  At first, I wasn't sure if I would ever use it or not but it turns out to be fun and a good source to add to my crafting/knitting/crocheting queue.   (Yeah, because I need a longer list of things I want to do!)  I found a  blog post  that explained how to use Kool Aid cubes to dye yarn.  I thought it looked like something I would enjoy. I had two skeins of bare Windsor Farms Angora Frost that seemed like a good candidate. I was a little nervous about how it would come out though so I only used one skein.  I just realized that the skein is only 200 yards so now I'm sort of bummed that I didn't do both.  I've been searching around though and I think I'll be able to come up with some patterns for 200 yards of fingering weight.  The project options would have been much better if I had done both skeins, though. I didn't follow the blog post instructions exactly because we aren't having hot sunny days in Oregon right
