I have never dyed yarn before... how do I do this with store bought natural wool? I want to make in pink! Or red.. or purple. What can I use to dye it? What do you use to dye? Any equipment? What dye do I use? Where can I get it cheap? Thanks for helping!
Koolaid dyeing is fun and super easy - I dyed a whole punch of old wool someone gave me that was starting to yellow. It came out gorgeous and I used it to make a felted satchel type bag for the person that gave it to me. Depending on how much you are dyeing I would do it on a nice day when you can put everything outside to dry.
If you're using an all natural fiber, you can use a natural dye on the cheap.
Beets are an excellent option but eventually fades, so you might want to re-dye completed pieces if you don't have any other yarn incorporated into your project.
Ask me for other colors and detailed dying directions!
