Kool Aid is a popular drink mix in the U.S. It comes in small, unsweetened packages which are mixed with water and sugar to produce a drink. In the army it used to be called "Bug Juice," for some reason. It works very well to dye fibers from animal sources. It is permanent and non poisonous, and easy to use.
Similar results can be derived from food coloring, Easter Egg Dye, or the coloring that is available at stores that specialize in cake and candy decoration (stronger food coloring, available in larger quantities) Kool Aid is just more readilly available around here than these alternatives. There may be similar stuff available in Germany or elsewhere, but be sure that it's unsweetened, and just try it out. It's all fun. --- Steve, In Maryland _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus
