green - ready for the blue!

here you can see how the green is darker on the bottom (and actually, darker than in this photo) and a little lighter at the top - just perfect!

 

this time I went the lazy route and was rewarded!

 

basically, I just soaked the skeins of yarn in some water (straight from the store). while they were soaking, I mixed the lemon-lime (with a little berry blue) in my crockpot. I set two skeins (all that would fit, I have a small crockpot) on their ends in the dye, then poured some more hot water in until about the half the skein was in the green dye. when the water was clear, I carefully removed the skeins and set them on a towel. then I changed out the water and mixed some berry blue in the crockpot. I put the skeins on their other ends in the blue, filled up the crockpot until it was overlapping the green, and let that cook until the water was clear.

 

I rinsed each skein in water with some vinegar (though I don't think that's really necessary since kool-aid is so acidic) and *then* I wound them into nice loose hanks to dry.
