Yarn Flash for Sockpal
My Sockpal asked me to flash some of the sock yarn I like. I thought of my woefully pitiful stash of sock yarn (about 5 skeins or so) and what I like. Cough, most of my sock yarn is merino (superwash and not), with I think one skein being cotton blend. I have sensitive feet. Small though, so I don't need much yarn to knit socks for me.
Here's the list:
Here's the list:
- ThreeWatersFarm -- superwash merino, fingering weight. Lovely colors.
- Lisa Souza -- lovely colors, but my sock yarn that came in wasn't so great with the colors. Maybe she had a bad dye lot or something. Instead of purple, I have this fuchsia section.
- Lorna's Laces -- shepherd sock. Love the multicolored yarns.
- Artyarns -- supermerino looks kind of neat, but haven't had a chance to play with this stuff yet.
- Two Waters Fiberworks -- an Etsy shop that I've been dying to buy from.
- Socks That Rock by Blue Moon Fiber Arts -- awesome colors and nice feel to yarn. At The Fold.
- Henry's Attic -- handdyed by me, available in lots of places.
- Others I'd love to try but haven't: Colinette Jitterbug (I think Robin has a skein of this and it is lovely stuff), Fleece Artist, Claudia's Handpainted (colors are yummy), Interlacements (also lovely colors, but sometimes a bit bold). The Loopy Ewe has some lovely yarns.
