I've been dyin' to show you...
I am a huge fan of using Kool-aid to dye my fiber since it is so safe and accessible but I find the red drinks don't really give a good red dye. It's more of a deep orange. So when I was shopping at JoAnn's this past weekend I found a Jacquard dye called iDye color fire red that is suitable for natural fibers and it produces a true red. All you need is a little vinegar as a mordant to set the color and voila, this is what you get...

That's really pretty, Maureen. My favorite red is Jacquard Russet.
