I keep seeing yarn dyed with Kool aid and hearing how great it is!!
I have been told by someone who dyes with it, that it is perfectly harmless and they compared it to natural dyes.....
This makes my blood boil!
Kool Aid is a synthetic drink powder which contains no fruit extract, wikipedia has more facts.
Its a sachet of coloured chemicals and NOT a natural dye!
If it dyes wool such bright permanent colours what does it do to your insides when you drink it???
I am very disappointed to read that kool-aid is not a good dye. I brought some to dye silk hair for a doll; just haven't gotten to it....okay I guess that is really doesn't make since. I don't drink kool aid and I don't feed it to the children because I read somewhere that the dyes used cause cancer. Of course, one poor rat was probably fed 100 pack concentrate everyday for a year...anything/one would develope cancer due to the excess. Okay then. I like your website...I love art!!!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you there!
ReplyDeleteI remember once inhaling some in by mistake whilst doing some dyeing.....blimey how it made me sneeze and hurt my nose!
Anyone who drinks it needs a serious talking to :)

ReplyDeleteKool-Aid is so disgusting.
Ever heard of the "orange" powdered drink called "Tang"? My parents use it to clean hard water deposits out of their dish washer!!! EWW!!
