… yarn, of course! No dyed eggs for me this Easter. Just lots of great yarn that has been showing up to evaluate, make new designs, knit additional models for the June TNNA trade show, etc. |
After being heads down the past couple of weeks getting out the new release of patterns, it is going to be fun to take a break and play with these and other yarns that have come in.
This is the new Sock-Ease yarn from Lion Brand in 7 colorways. They make a cute Easter basket, don’t you think? The yarn is fingering weight 75% wool/25% nylon, machine washable and dryable, and finished with aloe vera. The balls are 100g (3.5 oz) of 400 m (438 yds). Plenty to make a pair of socks in most sizes and styles.
The length of the main color repeats is very long, with shorter accent sections of accent color. I’ll be testing the yarn today in my Country Girl Socks pattern and will give you a further report later.
For those who celebrate, Happy Easter!
