I had a bunch of natural Lopi and I dyed it, using Lucia’s instructions, with purple Kool-Aid. I’m really happy with the results. Purple is not my colour. It just isn’t. I think it has something to do with a childhood experience while watching Donnie and Marie and something about his socks or something. Whatever, purple is not really for me. But this purple I like. And I really like how the colour varies. It gives a really nice depth to the fabric. So the knitting is done and now I’m waiting for the current load in the washer to finish up so I can send this thing on its first felting run. Can you feel the anticipation? I can :D [...] […] This is also a good project because I am using wool from my stash. I had a bunch of natural Lopi and I dyed it, using Lucia’s instructions, with purple Kool-Aid.

I had never even considered doing this procedure, but now I will when I make my pumpkins. You answer so many questions that might come up, such as the two-minute milky water, by explaining exactly what happened and then taking the time to work through them and photograph them for the benefit of us all. I really appreciate that. Thank you so much. SO VERY HELPFUL, having all the pictures and the blow-by-blow descriptions.

Not sure how linen would work but if wool does, the linen should. I would want more subtle colors and the blotchy part would be ideal. Thank you for experimenting and posting this - and just when I was out looking for ideas, too! If anyone has dyed x-stitch linen or other similar fabric, I would love to know about it.
