Dyeing my own hackle

[skiptomylu]

I want to hear more about this Kool Aid dyeing. Is there a post somewhere that I missed?

Think I have seen threads on this on every tying type board I go to. You should just do a search on Google or here and then you can find it.

there was a post about it im sure can look it up here in jig tiein but the basics is
2 packs kool aid
12 oz water
4 oz white vinger
bring to just under a boild and put what your goin to die in there let it get about 1 shade darker then you want take it out and put under cold tap water
now if its fur like deer tail or tree rat something that i fould the helps befor you hang to dry put betine paper towels and press water out and run a comb thro it helps fur imo

heres a color chart but it shows over darker then white and if you use something white you get a nice true color and you can mix things to get diff looks

that color chart link is pretty cool walks you right through it, I might have to give it a try as well, that is after the bite is pretty much over here. Time to fill the freezer now.
