Hi Spinners, I love to space dye with kookaid. I lay the fiber on a layer of plastic wrap. Then I dampen the skein or fleece, then apply concentrated solutions of the koolaid (just pour it on, or use one of those sponges on a stick) in patches. Grape and black cherry are a wonderful combination. Then I wrap the plastic wrap around the fiber so that the patches don't touch each other and mix ( you want some running to get the medium colors). Pop the plastic wrap in a bread bag and steam in your dye pot or microwave. Great winter project when it's too cold to dye outside. The fruity smell goes away in the rinse. Have fun, Elaine from Iowa [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1710]
