Two years ago my neighbors, who are always amazed at the number of fiber things in my house, came over with little jars of their left-over easter egg dyes. I didn't know what to do with them, but after having such a good time with Kool-Aid dyeing, I thought I'd try some things out. I put each color in a pint canning jar and all the jars in my canning kettle. I put in about 3 inches of water to surround the jars.
Mohair takes dye beautifully.
The colors were fabulous. It took me about a year to decide what to do with the bright and beautiful yarn, but eventually I decided to knit a tam with all the colors. Problem tho - I had used dixie cups, the wax on which melted in the microwave and got on the wool. Didn't seem to interfere with the dye, but the little skeins are kinda stiff in places. It's mixed with water and a lot of sugar to make a drink that little kids seem to love.
