To make a pair of thumb-less mittens for Finn, I separated a skein of Patons (cheap) Classic Merino Wool into skeins and dyed them different colors. It's very economical for a tiny project like this one, since it requires so little yarn to complete and the perspective of having to buy a lot of different colors didn't appeal to me.
Here are the completed mittens, so fast and easy:

Those are so adorable! Let him get his little hands cold and wet in the snow and then he might think twice about taking those cuties off.

what a great idea. i never thought about doing that with a skein to get a bunch of colors. i just avoid color work all together because i don't want to buy a ton of yarn.

Cute! Have you tried duct tape? Looking back, I think that duct tape was probably about the only thing that would have worked to keep the mitts on my kids. I probably should have tried it...

What is your pattern for this? I was getting ready to do the same thing with scraps, but I do like your idea as well!!
