I dissolved about 1/4 teaspoon of the food coloring in 1 cup boiling water. I added an additional cup of hot water to some of the jars. Colors used: Leaf Green, Kelly Green, Teal, Violet, Lemon Yellow, Sky Blue
I failed to take pictures of the most important part, which was use pouring the dye over the yarn, but I was pretty busy. Julia used Leaf Green, Kelly Green, Teal, Violet and Sky Blue on a worsted weight Peruvian Highland wool from Knitpicks. I used Leaf Green, Teal, Violet and Lemon Yellow on a sock yarn from Knitpicks.

My skein reskeined.
I was hoping for the look of spring flowers in the grass but the green came out too bright so I think it looks more like a parrot.
