Dyeables
I was wondering where I could get yarn to dye with Kool-Aid for a good price.............

Ive searched ebay and found 100% natural wool, but would this be a good material for a scarf? Sounds kinda itchy... :thinking:

KnitPicks.com has dyeable Wool of the Andes, which has been very popular on this forum. You'd have to ask the others about whether it's itchy or not. I do know that it's mostly used for felting.

I personally know gals from my knitting group who have had marvelous results when dyeing this yarn with Kool-Aid.

If you DO order from knit picks, make sure you click through from this site, Amy gets credit!

I just kool-aid dyed some Wool of the Andes on Monday -- it turned out really cool!

A little pricier, but a fab selection: http://www.wool2dye4.com/index.asp
