Stripe Science (sort of)
The Inspiration Yarn: Regia Canadian Colors (and finally I got my grubby hands on this one skein of Alberta!)
The Hypothesis: More elaborate stripe patterns can be pre-planned (by a not-so-scientific, not so math-y gal).
The Timid Testing Phase: Some random Patons Wool & Kool-Aid
Test Phase 2: Did it work?
The ‘Lab’ Results: Yummy!
Conclusion: Warning! Yarn accumulation ahead.

Beautiful dyeing job and love the stripes sweetie! I ordered some more Regia yarn and just bought my short skinny needles for them. Regia is so really skinny yarn.

Great colors! Am I delirious or did you say you dyed all of them with kool-aid?!? if so, how did you get the brown? and do you have any tips on dyeing with kool-aid? I am trying it this weekend.
