We just added a new product - sock blanks! They're double-knitted rectangles of sock yarn that you can dye to create self-striping, matching socks. We also put together video and PDF tutorials to teach you how to let your imagination run wild - you can check it all out right here.

I do a lot of sock knitting this time of year. Is there anywhere that I can purchase blanks that are already dyed and ready to knit. This rectangle would be awesome to take to the ball park. No more loose balls rolling away.; ▶ Reply to This

Yarn Always Stays Clean neat & Tangle free and of Course Still Fits in a Pocket :) if you don't drag a Huge Bag along ! Hope this Helps; ▶ Reply to This

I will try various colors mixed with grey to create muted shades for one of them. Can't decide about the other. Decisions, decisions!; ▶ Reply to This
