Dying with Kool-Aid

I have some procoin dye coming in the mail from http://www.fairyfabrics.com.au/ but thought I would give Kool-aid a go before I get the good stuff.





I tried to dye one piece of silk using the LWI method with yellow and red in a jar but the red just overpowered and I have a piece of red silk. Heres a piece that I just sprinked the Kool-aid on the material and smoothed it out with a tablespoon.

You can't really see it but the middle is yellow. I won't be using Kool-aid again to dye. The only good thing about it was it smelt so good.
