Kool-Aid Dying Wool Roving

So my project today is to dye some lovely wool roving using a combination of Kool-aid, Wilton Food Coloring, and Pas Easter Egg tablets. I will try the microwave method first. I got some wonderful instructions at this site if anyone is interested: http://www.thepiper.com/fiberart/koolaid/basic-howto.html

She also has a detailed color chart!!!

I have started needle felting and, unfortunately, unless I want to order colored wool online - I can only get natural wool roving locally (which is amazing considering the number of sheep around here!).

I will try to post some pictures of the dying later as well as some of the felting I have done. I have gotten so much inspiration from others I hope I can offer some too!
Blessings!
