too good to... drink?

whilst spending my usual half a day on pinterest (its my new obsession but thats another story) i came across this...
...dyeing yarn with kool-aid, a funky little american soft drink mix.

i just put a large pot on a hob, with just enough water to cover the yarn. it must be kept on a really low heat, really just to keep it warm.
then i added two sachets at a time, pouring them around the edges of the pot. when the water goes pretty much clear, i flipped the yarn over and did the same again.
at the end, i added a light colour just to cover any white bits.
remove it from the hear and let it sit for a while, just to get it to room temperature then rinse and hang up to dry.

the flavours i used (by flavours, i mean colours)... black cherry, berry blue, lemon-lime, orange and lemonade.
