Hook ‘n Spin – A true fiber addict

Alas, I lost a lb of wool.  I dyed some of the shetland I had combed with Kool-Aid.  I found a big jar of the blue lemonaide on sale for a buck fifty and thought what a great deal.

I dyed the wool, rinsed until no color was washing away, wrung it out, and blotted it with a towel.  I laid it in the sink to dry and drain.  This was on a very hot, overcast, muggy day.  When I checked on it the next day, it had started to get black mold!  Yuck!

I thought I had rinsed it well, but I guess I did not.  I also have used the lying in the sink to dry and drain before without a problem, but not with the Kool-Aid.  Only sunny day dying for me with the Kool-Aid.
