Remember those koolaid yarns I mentioned earlier? Well, pictures ahead!

Tropical punch + Blue berry = Tropical Fiesta. Pink Novita wool.

Food dye green + red = foliage.

Food dyes again. Tropical water.

Pieni nyssäkkä, jolla on lähinnä siivottu kattilaa.
Little bit of yarn used for cleaning the kettle.


Orange + Lemonade == orange morning, my favourite now.

Tropical fiesta, tropical water, foliage and orange morning. The samples are small since I don't know what gauge I need to knit so I didn't bother.

Kieltämättä tuo appelsiiniaamu on kivan väristä. En kyllä ole mikään oranssin ystävä, mutta....
Aivan syötävän ihana tuo appelsiiniaamu!!
Your colors are fantastic. I suspect that you have more patience than the average KoolAid user, as your colors are unusually vibrant. Please share your secrets! By the way, I cannot fathom how anyone drinks the stuff, either.
Kiitos kehuista :), en itsekään oikein oransseihin tai keltaisiin ole aikaisemmin tutustunut, tuo on nyt lankavarastoni ainoa oranssi kerä ;).
Well, I have a couple more skeins up my sleeve still waiting to be wound and knitted. But, my secret is nothing else than not using microwave oven. I pour the dye in a large kettle, so that I have about 3 liters of kool aid at any moment. Then I just dip the wet (WET, dry skeins won't sink) skein to the liquid, whipping it around waiting for the colour to be absorbed. Repeat for next part of the skein. Finish with keeping the skein in hot water for a while. Plus, tropical punch is Really Bright.
IIhhhaannniiaa lankoja! Mun täytyy nyt varmaan taas kattella jotain kaapin kätköihin jääneitä lankoja ja karamelliväriä ja ja.. :D
