Dyeing Yarn

I would love to dye my own yarn in the future. I would probably do natural animal fiber yarn, so that I could use kool-aid. I just love the richness in color that hand dyed yarn has. I have no idea when I'll have a chance to do this. I think it would be nice to do it over the summer so that I could do it outside hopefully.

Knitpicks has some nicely priced yarn that is marketed towards hand dyers.

The only thing that concerns me about hand dyeing is the amount of yarn to dye at the time. Since I do know that it does need to be done at the same time so that the different hanks can be the same color.
