Did you wrap the skein in the plastic before you placed in the double boiler? I have seen that with other tutorials when they microwave but didn't know if it was necessary here.

I was ju...Hi there! <br />I love your dying technique! <br /><br />I was just wondering - because I don't think they have this CoolAid thing where I live - is it possible to make a dye from every type of powdered drinks? What are the CoolAid thing's contents?<br /><br />And, also, can you recommend something to use for keeping the colors if I don't have this steamer basket?Mellindorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311478635755694797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218602897331908767.post-34985951341067206232010-02-02T22:14:55.748-05:002010-02-02T22:14:55.748-05:00I can't wait to try this with my boys...not su...I can't wait to try this with my boys...not sure what I'll do with the yarn afterwards since I don't know how to knit...I'll figure out something.

I will have to try that next time, that seems like it would help a lot!<br /><br />Maggie - Yeah, I am pretty sure you would need to add vinegar to other dyes. I get my yarn from all kinds of places online - jimmybeanswool, knitpicks to naea couple. The O-Wool natural is by far my favorite though!
