my Koolade-dyed hat in progress

Here's a photo of the bullet-proof baby hat in progress:

I dyed the yarn with Cherry Koolaid and Strawberry Lemonade Koolaid. I'm
addicted to Koolaid dyeing now and can't stop experimenting until I try all
of the flavors! :-D

I just stumbled on an article on Knitty.com that shows many(all?) colors and
lists the flavors. The web address for it is:

Might save you some time, but might take away some of the fun of
experimenting!

Cool, thank you for sharing JJ.

So can *anything* be dyed with Koolaid, or just wool? For instance, if I
had a white
t-shirt that I wanted a different colour, would the Koolaid work on that?

Anything you ask? How about this?

Actually, I recently tried dyeing yarn with kool-aid. My story is here

If you look at some of the pictures, you can see little strips of white.
That's the cotton yarn I used to tie strands together and it just
didn't take any dye. BTW, the finished product is pictured here

Ewww.... I don't care for homemade pickles for the most part anyway, but
*red* ones?!? That would definitely turn me totally off them for good, I
think. LOL

Oooh, now that looks pretty! )

I was wondering more on the lines of tie-dying a t-shirt though.

I think that if the cotton yarn didn't take the color, then a t-shirt
probably wouldn't take it well.

The pickles are weird, but not necessarily bad
