Color Matching Yarn with Food Coloring in Mason Jars

I needed some specific yarn to create little crochet dinosaurs for Rowdy's first birthday party. I waited too long to order the yarn colors I needed, so I decided to dye my own with food coloring. The yarn used in this video is KnitPicks Wool of the Andes (white) and I used McCormick's Food Coloring drops.
