Let's kettle dye some yarn with Candy Hearts to celebrate Valentine's Day!  We dyed two different types of yarn from KnitPicks: Wool of the Andes Worsted (100% wool) http://shrsl.com/rf5p and Stroll Fingering (75% superwash merino, 25% nylon)  http://shrsl.com/rf5o (Affiliate Links).  I wasn't sure if "handpainting" yarn with these candy hearts would work, so while I was in the middle of the first Valentine's Day special I decided to try a second experiment with these candy hearts.  Which is your favorite?
