Fruity!
.
I pulled several ounces of wool off my big spool 'O cobweb, and played with kool-aid. Actually, I played with a Flav-R-Aid; and learned a lot. First, I learned that wool is kind of water resistant, and you should wash it with a bit of soap first. (I didn't do this) Second, I learned that the combination of hot water, dye and vinegar caused my wool to release more lanolin. The previously stiff yarn now wraps around tiny needles easily. Third, I learned that it takes a while for the wool to soak up all the dye. And last, I learned that Flav-R-Aid leaves a chalky residue on the bottom of the dish, and white dandruffy flakes sticking to the wool. But they come out easily.
