Yesterday I dyed my first yarn!!! And I am very happy with the results! I used Kool Aid that I bought on ebay as you don't get it in Germany and then "baked" the yarn in the oven according to Wollhuhn's directions. I used sock yarn and can't wait to start working on it!
For the first 100gr skein I took Cherry and Lemon. I have twu English Pint glasses (nicked from pubs when I used to study there) and they are perfect for the job:
For the second two 50gr skeins I used orange and grape:
(As you see I don't have a swift and I have to work on my hanking technique)
My pink sweater is nearly done. I am working on the second sleeve and I hope to finish it today after I have corrected the central Bavarian English and German tests from my 6th graders. (Don't get me started on my opinion on this)

Great dyeing job! If you ever need Kool-aid, just email me. You don't have to buy it on ebay. It is only $.10 a pack here. I will stick some in the mail to you. Just let me know what colors you would like.
Die gefärbte Wolle sieht wirklich toll aus. Mir gefällt vor allem die Kirsch-Zitronen Kombination. Kann man theoretisch jede Wolle färben oder muss es spezielle sein?
Ich hab Dein Blog erst ganz neu entdeckt (irgendein swap-link) und muss jetzt erstmal weiter lesen!
Viele Grüße,

I love the color combos you chose, especially the orange and grape! Lovely!
