Dying wool and Felting

I don´t have access to kool aid, so I dyed my yarn with light (meaning aspartame or sucralose, as I used 2 different brands). Soaked wet with water, vinegar, spin cycle of my washer machine, and add the colors. 3 min.for 3 times in my microwave, then rinse with warm water, spin again, and hanged with my clothes, I forgot that it was away from the sunrays, but the colors remain the same. Then I knitted without pattern a purse, and felted it with just cold water, a pair of jeans 2 tennis balls,
and a rough cotton fabrics. It did not stain the natural flap (knitted together), or the fabrics. Here are some pics of my experiment.
