Solid Socks

I appreciate a variegated or self-striping sock yarn as much as the next gal, but sometimes you need a solid sock yarn in the repertoire.
As part of our latest shipment from Cascade, we received a nice selection of Heritage Sock in beautiful range of solid colors. This is a great standard superwash sock yarn.
Alpaca Sox is a lofty alpaca blend with a little halo, perfect for socks, scarves, shawls, gloves...
Artyarns Ultramerino 4 is machine washable and very soft.
Summer Sox is a squishy cotton/merino blend in some nice bright colors.
(We have most of these in handpainted and variegated versions, too.)
We'll be receiving more Spud & Chloe Fine, a washable merino/silk blend, in the next month or so.
If you're thinking about socks but aren't into the flashy colors, these lovely solids might just fit the bill.
