Swell Yarns Duet Sock Yarns Handpainted Superwash Merino Wool Sport weight US size 1-450 yards including co-ordinating yarn great for a heel and toe.

and honestly for the life of me I can't think of the third right now. I'll double check when I get to the store this morning. I've been up since 4:30 so I've got an excuse.

What do I love about this....back in the day when I was first knitting socks for my oldest boys, there wasn't any of the "fancy" sock yarns that there is today. I don't even remember if there was self striping. I would combine different yarns to have the ribbing one color, leg another, heel another, foot another, and last the toe the last color. It was my attempt at making the socks fun, and appealing for little boys. Who would have known where socks would be today. It is truly mind blowing. This smart company, owner the fabulous Angela, takes the best of both worlds, a cleverly dyed variegated yarn and the most perfect amount of heel and toe yarn, so you too can get a unique pair of socks.

This week is the Local Yarn Shop hop. Stop by the store for details. Make a purchase this weekend, Wednesday thru Saturday and you'll be entered into a drawing for 3 separate $50.00 gift certificates for classes. The new schedule is up at the store, we've got a whole lot of new and exciting skill building classes. We can't wait to see you there.
