In praise of drink mix - 2007/07/17 06:27
All hail drink mix!
I speak, of course, of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, Fruit Punch mix, and any and all generic store brands of these powdered drink mixes.
Due to limited kitchen space, I dye fiber and yarn exclusively with food dye products. One can produce a wide range of colors with drink mix. Don't quite like the color? Add a few drops of food coloring until it meets your standards!
Add several "glugs" of white vinegar, bring the whole lot to a boil on the stove, turn the stove off, and Bob's your uncle!
It's non-toxic, and you don't need a separate set of equipment for dyeing versus food preparation.
