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 lisa

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

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? :)

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

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

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 :)
