The Lure of that Evil Yarn..

It has me in its vice-like grip. These cones of wool were one of the bargains from the famed Meredyth's garage sale. They were only $2 a piece on the second day when everything was half off after 2pm. (I am an expert at garage sale-ing).

I planned to dye up some since my wool-Jones is never satisfied, and this lot was the perfect stuff for my dye practicing.
Yesterday I followed a link and found instructions for dyeing with Kool-Aid, which seemed so simple and quick, rather than kettle dyeing. This method would be accomplished in the microwave. I only needed some Kool-Aid to start the process.

And O yeah, some skeined yarn. I found out this morning that my kitchen counter is an amazing one yard wide! So I started wrapping a skein and in no time had 140 yards, approximately.

One is never enough so I wound nine more skeins.

Yesterday I bought mucho packets of Kool-Aid and Wylers and already have all the necessary Gladware plastic containers to put in the microwave. Now to clean up the kitchen and transform it into Dyeroom #2. Kool-aid is nearly non-toxic if you leave out the sugar so this can be done in my regular kitchen without concern for contamination.

So more later, after I get this underway.
