I used your technique and dyed some yarn with kool aid in my crock pot. Turned out great. I want to dye another skein but want to make the colour black. I’ve mixed some colours but it doesnt turn a true black. Do you have any suggestions on how I would get a dark black with kool aid? Thank you so much
This is a great question! I don't ever really measure the temperature. I think that in general 180 degrees F can be really good, but it does depend a bit on the dye color and fiber content. In general, I try to keep my pots just below a boil (so if there are a lot of bubbles, I reduce the heat.)
I am trying this today once my slow cooker arrives in mail. Super excited! This is so helpful!!!!

Approximately what temperature should the water be at for dyeing? Thank you
