Put up in the hank. Before starting.
Washed & rinsed, soaked in plain water for 30 minutes.
I didn't have Kool Aid Brand so I used the Aldi's store brand. 2 packs per 50 grams. (Of course, I didn't read this correct and had to add 2 more packs during the dye bath).
The kool aid mixed with water.
Add the yarn and cover with water.
After microwaved for 2 minutes and then rested for 5 minutes and repeated.
Yarn rinsed and hung to dry in my jungle of a back yard.
Final product. I don't know, it may need to be redyed with more blue. But wait, it is just for socks. I'll try dyeing some Knit Picks Bare that I have had for a couple of years.
It is a little time consuming, but overall, very fun. The kids enjoyed "helping" me too.

Fun! It makes sense that Kool Aid works as a dye--I've never been able to wash it out of anything!
Ohhhh very cool. I am going to do some dying with food very very soon.
I've heard of all kinds of foodie products being used for dye! This is a new one! Cool!
Oh, Hey, if you want to get rid of the "Read More...." part that shows up under the button just go into the widget and edit it out. Simply delete the "Read More..." and everything AFTER that and it will disappear. :)
