close knit: the neighborhood yarn shop
Sock tubes!
I bought sock yarn not too long ago, and then I ask the Side Hustle Sock friends to make tubes for me. Now all I need to do is make heels, toes, and cuffs.
I love the way these yarns knit up, and I think the recipient of these cozy socks is going to be shocked and amazed that I made this happen so quickly. (Thanks to some little sock tube-winding elves.)
Have you ever tried knitting with self-patterning sock yarn and struggled to match your patterns? I end up wasting yarn to get to the same starting point and sometimes it's not clear where the pattern even starts. Well this pretty new Jawoll Twin will give you perfectly matched socks every time!
The skeins all start at the same place, so your socks will be twins every time. Some colorways make a pretty ombre and this one knits up into a sweet rainbow. You can see all of the colorways knit up in this pdf from Jawoll.
Summer is a great time for sock knitting. Come check out this pretty yarn and maybe knit yourself a rainbow!
This Jawoll Color sock yarn is so pretty! And each ball comes with a spool of nylon reinforcing thread for those heels and toes.
You can see a little picture on the label that gives you an idea of how it will knit up. I love the subtle color changes and the pretty earthy tones that we have in the shop. These colors are sure to please anyone!
My toes are cold. I finished those awesome Arne and Carlos socks and gave them away to my lucky mother. Now I want some socks for me! Fortunately, the Lang Yarns Jawoll is restocked.
I'll need two skeins for a pair for myself, and I'm leaning toward the marled/tweed look. But maybe with bright, contrasting toes and heels and ribbing. Decisions, decisions.
Each skein comes with a little spool of reinforcing tread for the heels and toes. I have never worked with this sock yarn before, but it looks pretty sturdy. Do you all have any experience with how it knits and wears? I'll let you know what I think.
