Awesome way to Dye Mohair!!
I was just reading my friend Lisa's blog... Q.D. Patooties and read her latest post about dyeing mohair with Kool-Aid!
I had heard of this before.... but was afraid to try. But Lisa shows us a bear that was dyed that way 2 years ago and still as bright as can be.... and tells of a bear that was in the Charlotte sun and never faded! That was enough for me to decide to try!
Here's her article: http://qdpatooties.blogspot.com/2007/07/hey-kool-aid.html
You can also read more about dyeing with Kool-Aid - and more tips and techniques in Nancy Tillberg's book 101 Bears to Make

My Blog post today shows the gorgeous colors you get when you dye with Kool-Aid. The mohair turned out looking great...you should see the Arctic Apple Green!
