Outstanding Joyce,
Couple of questions, do you use white vinegar or cider ? Also, can you
get a black by mixing colors ? And lastly, do you have a list of what
flavors give which colors ? I am going to try this on some fur I have.
Thanks again for such useful knowledge.

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:

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.
