Hot Koolaid

Ah... the fragrance of koolaid in the air

WHAT in the world am I doing??? Dying some of my wool fleece! Directions say not to use your hands... but of course I did. So I now have purple fingernails.

And of course I couldn't start out simply, using just one color. Oh no, I had to try rainbow dying. I must say the result is interesting. Once it has dried, I will card it and see what it looks like after it has been spun.

I used Watermelon-Kiwi... which is green, Raspberry... which is blue, Cherry & Grape. I was dying some Lincoln fleece that is a natural grey color. So, the colors are not real bright. The wool has a heathered look.

Reminds me of the time I was bored and made my own marshmallows! My family likes to give me a hard time about that one! BUT... I enjoyed it, and I know longer have to wonder about those marshmallows. ;-)
