Courtney it is my understanding that the darker blues are the ones we want
to stay away from. Baby Blue, light blue, I would think will be fine. I know
my navy blues and Denham are darker and I will not use them.

When you say like blue, do you mean baby blue or royal blue denim blue?
Light blue can mean lots of different things & if it was stated Monday night
we want to make sure everything matches.

One question.
I notice these are crocheted ones. Are there any knitted ones from the
Warm-up America page?
