You Will Need (2 things)

  • Yarn
  • Kool Aid

Steps (5 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    Make sure you are using a natural fiber yarn, wool works best. You can leave it in a hank, or you can wind it into a ball on a ball winder to make a gradient skein.

  2. 2

    Use heat resistant glass jars, add at least 2 packets of Kool Aid to each one in the color you desire, then add boiling water.

  3. 3

    For a gradient skein, pull the center out of the ball a few times and keep connected, place each section in each jar of Kool-Aid. Be careful, it's hot!

  4. 4

    When the water is mostly clear and the yarn has absorbed the color, remove from the jars, squeeze out and let dry.

  5. 5

    Rewind your ball when dry and knit!
