Can you do this like you do w/ Kool Aid? Squirt it on the yarn and nuke it for 2 minutes???

Yes I am curious to find out as well. I am looking into purchasing some and want to know how to use this kind of dye.

I have no idea. The site recommends hot dye bath with it. But maybe. The KA/Wilton works both ways. Maybe we'll just have to try it out.

I steam mine (I used to nuke it)... but yes, you essentially use the same techniques as you would if you were KA dyeing.

Use vinegar, too as you would w/KA.

LOL!!! NO! I couldn't have been that lucky!

No... Susan McCormack, the winner, is from here.. Findlay,OH. We are all very proud of her. She won $ 1 million, plus $10K for winning her category, PLUS she got a whole kitchen full of new appliances!

And I am making her award winning pie for Monday for our family's Fourth celebration. I will let you all know how it tastes.
