Kool aid roving

Ok kool aid dye is really easy,and it's quite safe ,I feel like when I do commercial acid dyes i have set fire to my kitchen ,not really ,but the chemicals are toxic ,kool aid dye is great it's cheap and smells oh so good ,start off by gathering your supply's ,you'll need  
vinegar  
your roving, 
A bowl
Kool aid two to three  packs per color ,
And plastic wrap
A microwave 
Some small containers for your color mix
Step one soak your roving in the vinegar overnight

       
Ingore the Wilton on the table was not used,
So I layer the plastic wrap on the table 
Then place the roving on top of it  like so,
(Save the water don't throw it away we'll use later😃)


Next mix your kool aid with the  vinegar water that you soaked your roving in and paint away ,but dot soak it (ignore my messy workspace,) now roll up the plastic wrap nice and tight ,
Like so ,place it in a glass bowl and nuke it in three min intervals, but keep a eye out ,let it rest and cool down gradually,let it cool ,wool dosent like sudden change ,when its room temp rise it with room temp water ,don't wring ,squeeze it out gently,allow to dry and vollia pretty roving ,
See how pretty !!
