I've always soaked my yarn in a vinegar/water solution, I take it that it's unnecessary? I've also not been able to achieve the speckled look but I will someday...ciaoRosittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722304052321553692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-46706042053968904522009-11-14T14:41:27.526+00:002009-11-14T14:41:27.526+00:00Oooooooohhh,PRETTY!!

FYI, there is a kool aid dying forum on Ravelry, with lots of interesting information. (I assume it's also helpful information, but since I've yet to actually try dying yarn, I can't vouch for that...)<br /><br />The babies are adorable.

I have a stash of KA waiting to my first yarn dye but it will have to wait awhile as I'm having knee replacement in a week. It was so nice to see your yarn.
