I have always thought it was such a great thing to be able to create a garment with "sticks and string!" I can't imagine how wonderful it feels to do that with yarn you created too! I agree with the commenter who posted WOW, WOW, WOW! Can't wait to see what you make with it! Lisa! I LOVE this post!

They remind me of sherbet too. I didn't know that you could dye fabric with Kool-Aid (at least not on purpose), but in High School I heard that you could use it as a temporary hair dye. I tried it, even resorted to putting my hair in Kool-Aid being cooked on the stove, and it didn't work. So I was surprised when you mentioned this. Your results are really spectacular though! Maybe grape would be the next flavor, or lime! The colors you were able to get are great! They remind me of sherbet too.
