Kool way to dye

This is Elann Peruvian Highland Donegal in oatmeal but my daughter and I dyed it red with cherry kool-aid. We used 4 packets to get this deep red color with a little variegation to it. I knit up a swatch to see what it looks like and we love it, not bad for our first time. Mia promised me that she will make a scarf with this beautiful skein of yarn; I love the color so much I think I’m going to dye some for me and make a sweater.
