Re: [VFB] Kool aid dying ?

[Joyce Westphal]

If you've ever tried to get Kool Aide out of your carpet or table cloth, you will learn quickly that it is absolutely colorfast when dry  It will fade a  bit with time and being in the water, but holds up really well. I dye small hen necks with it all the time..you can get colors this way that no one else  has. Try checking it out on these web sites:    http://www.needlepoint.about.com/cs/dyeing   http://www.fibreartsonline.com/fac/surface/dying.htm   www.awriter.com/juicybucktails.htm.   A search of google as well as a search of the flytying bulletin board archives at http://www.flyshop.com, then choose bulletin board and then choose a search with Kool aide will also help. Good luck. Joyce   PS: I'd be glad to join a Kool Aid swap. I've learned that Wool-ease yarn, alpaca and dog/goat animal hair as well as feathers dyes wonderfully..and f a grayish yarn will make a very deep color when Kool Aid dyed.
