First Time Dying Yarn!

Thanks to the wonderful tutorial seen on youtube, I have dyed my own yarn! The food coloring method I used was super fast, easy, and cheap. Im hoping to experiment with Kool-Aid soon and would love to find a way to dye acrylic yarn instead of wool. If anyone knows of any other methods, I'd love to hear about them!




I also experimented dying with multiflora rose- an invasive plant. Ive also heard boiling onion peels, tea, and coffee make a nice dyes. I hope to get more into 'natural' dying as well.
Here's the video tutorial I used for dying my yarn:
