is this real food color or koolaid?

[morgi]

Wilton icing colour. I haven't tried Kool-Aid yet--it always sounds like it takes a ton of packets to get a decent colour.

[morgi]

Mmm, sticky yarn.

So that's done with food colouring?

I was wondering when you said you did it in your crockpot, though I guess you could of had an old/spare hanging around.

Does that mean when you do your next roast it could come out in the same colours?

Either way, that's pretty cool.

Yeah, it's pretty cool--wool and other animal fibers will dye with Kool-Aide or regular food colouring. Since it's food-safe, you don't need to buy special containers to do it in!

The nice thing about the glazed crock is that it doesn't take dye, though I did get a couple of blobs of pink that stuck to the bathroom sink when I rinsed things out.

Whoa, pretty and cool!

It's also way more fun than it really should be. I love playing with colours!
