I'm going to try my hand at dyeing some yarn for my February Socks. 
I have the Kool-Aid, but I'm awaiting delivery of the yarn....

Dyeing is great fun. I had a go last year with some 'all in one' acid dyes. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit so I can have another go.

So what's happened? Where is the gorgeous hand dyed yarn? Did you get it done? I've got some more yarn to dye. It's so much fun.

I did get the yarn dyed, and knitted up. The finished product is pictured in this thread.
I went into more detail about my dyeing adventure on my blog; like how I was completely taken aback at how quickly the yarn sucked up the colour!  I thought the undyed bits would look awful, but now it's knitted up, I rather like it.
You're so right about how much fun it is, and I'll definitely be having another play with Kool-Aid. I'll be a bit more adventurous with colours next time.

That yarn looks gorgeous knitted up into socks. Been struggling to keep up with all the sock threads and missed yours. Brilliant socks.
I'm planning to do some dyeing this morning. But I'm short on vinegar so don't think I'l lget much done. Got some lace weight merino to dye and some sock yarn
