I have reams of itty bits from previous socks - I'm going to Russian join and then overdye - is there something I'd have around the house that would work? Tea, for example, or would that make mud? Really don't want to get into dye baths or making a Beekeeper's quilt.

Dying with old school kool-aid packets is so simple and gives you a lot of color except the lemonades. You don't have to add any type of vinegar or acid as the citric acid already in it is perfect. And it's not harmful at all. Although you couldn't pay me to drink it. Lol We overdyed yarn with it and it came out fine but that was just a beige color. My 10 and 12 year old grandkids each dyed a skein.Natalie from Oklahoma
Jer 9:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Thank you for your input - guess I'll go looking for Kool Aid! And you're right - wouldn't drink it, but maybe dye with it!Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. Ian Maclaren (misattributed to Plato)
