Store brands will usually run you .25- .50 cents each. Of course the benefit of using food color is that you can design your own colors. (:

I just wanted to say to you that I really admire you. This DIY-rainbowy thing is just amazing and I got very excited about the coming-back of the web (I didn’t know it came back until today!)

So the thing is that I just wanted you to know that I follow you even if I never comment here or something. I really think this is the best web about amigurumis I’ve ever found.

Keep making it great.
Lots of love from Spain! ;DDD

I am a country girl and love dyeing things naturally lol these are just some ideas and I love these colors you have achieved in your yarns ^^
