That's my yarn!

About two years ago, I received some white merino sock yarn as a gift. I hand-dyed it with food coloring and used it to make my favorite-ever piece of knitting, my broadstreet mittens. (They kept my hands nice and toasty in yesterday's frozen windiness.)

Browsing through the articles in the latest Knitty, I saw this article about handpainted yarn, and whaddya know, about halfway down the page, some yarn in my exact colorway. So I made for free what people are paying lotso lotso money for - soft, handpainted yarn.

I love my mittens. I lost a button on one of them. I need to replace the buttons. I want them to last a long time.
