heart mitts dyed peacock neck color :)

These are much more of an intense sapphire color in person and I'm pleased with the finished mitts. The Merino Magic nice to use and takes the dye easily.

Thanks very much. I used Wilton's frosting dye in Delphinium and it was a horrid greyish blue and I decided to add some plain old blue food coloring in a bottle from the grocery store to the water and cook it some more. Perked it right up. :) I had some luck with zipping up some other blues before with a small slosh of it. Need to dye the first color and then add the darker blue. Somehow works better that way.
