Dyeing Green Yarn

 

 

 

These two green food colors in the supermarket food color kits give quite a different results.
 

 

The green in the left of the first photo gives a light pastel green.

The Neon green in the right side of the first photo gives a neon green.  This skein is made by Betty, due the sunshine, the neon green is more intense than it is in the shade.

 



Maureen used the same McCormick Neon Green for the above skein, due the shade, the color does not look as intense but it's still quite neon.

 

 The alternative way to make green yarn is to use lemon lime Kool-Aid.   Maureen dyed this skein using the Kool-Aid then added a tablet of Easter egg dye which seems to have a good bit of yellow in it, she then drop dyed neon pink and neon blue food coloring.
