KOOL AID--NOT JUST FOR DRINKS!

I TRYED MY HAND AT DYING MY ALPACA ROVING SO I COULD HAVE OTHER COLORS TO WORK WITH IN MY NEEDLE FELTING I RESEARCHED AND CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION..KOOL-AID, MICROWAVE, WATER, AND VINAGER. tHE RESULTS ARE GREAT! AND IT TOOK ONLY ABOUT 3 MINUTES PER BATCH OR COLOR SCHEME. HERES SOME PICS!! AND THE STEPS TO DYING!

STEP1) -----SOAK PULLED PIECES OF ROVING IN 1/2C. VINAGAR AND 1 QT WARM TAP WATER

STEP2)-----CRADLE ROVING GENTLY (SO U DONT FELT IT!!)AND REMOVE FROM BOWL (SAVE WATER MIX), PAT DRY WITH TOWEL AND PLACE IN MICROWAVE SAFE BOWL

STEP 3)--- POUR SMALL AMOUNT SAVED WATER MIX ON TOP, JUST ENOUGH TO COVER BOTTON AND ROVING, ADD KOOLAID PACKET(S), OR TRY WILTON FOOD GEL COLORS OR FOOD COLORING

STEP4)--- MICROWAVE THIS BOWL FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTED..DONT LET BOIL AND THEN TAKE IT OUT, LET COOL IN BOWL, REMOVE VERY GENTLY AND PAT DRY LET ROVING LAY ON TOWELS TO DRY OVER NIGHT
