Dyeing with Kool-Aid

[stacyk9]

I just got finished reading another thread about yarn dyeing and I am wanting to dye my own sock yarn to make Christmas socks. Finding red and green yarn this time of the year is a little difficult, so I figured I would try making my own, because face it, if I want these socks to be done by Christmas, I need to start now!! Anyway, my question is, when dyeing with Kool-Aid, does the lime mix come out in a traditional Christmas green color, or do you think I should go a different route, i.e. food coloring?

Thanks!
