[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Yarn dyes

[D Dyer]

Courtney,
I’d never even thought about using Kool-Aid so thank you for that. I’ll have to look into it a bit more.
Henry,
I’d seen some things on natural dying techniques using teas and berries but I wouldn’t even know where to start with that. So anything you can come up with would be very much appreciated.

I am wondering if anyone else has attempted this technique, whether it worked, and whether you have any tips. Seems like a cool experiment and since Easter egg dye is relatively inexpensive right now, one that I could try without too much expense.
