NEW! THREE WAYS TO SHOP: READ ON!

Way #1: Come to the store link to see what's here. The items posted in the store are dyed, dried, and ready to ship. They are special items, samples, limited quantities of yarns that I happen to have, new colour skeins, small batches of stuff I've cooked up. No guarantee that any of it will be repeated. First come, First served.

Way #2: TO SEE ALL AVAILABLE COLORWAYS AND YARN TYPES, CLICK HERE. Choose a colorway, and then choose a yarn to go with the colorway, and email me your heart's desire. Just like getting your pasta and your sauce at the local Italian joint. I will add new colours from time to time, and will update available yarns as I receive them.

Way #3: You have your own idea. Email me with your grand scheme, and I'll see what I can do.

TRESKO WORSTED WEIGHT SOCK YARN: 80% wool/20% nylon, 4-ply machine washable yarn. Suggested Gauge: 18st=4"on 4.5-5mm needles for regular knitting. 20-22st=4" on 4mm needles for sock knitting.

This is likely the only time I will offer this yarn as I bought up the last of it from my supplier. Tresko is by Sandnes and is designed to make hard-wearing, warm work socks. The picture on the ball band shows hardy socks in wooden clogs. This yarn feels durable and strong, yet light in weight. It would make nice outerwear jackets for children, or strong socks for boots or for slouching around in the house. The texture of the yarn feels like felted wool. Skeins are priced according to weight, and they're all a bit different. You will need about 90-100grams for a pair of childrens' or women's (5"leg) socks. You will need about 150 grams for men's socks. The colours go together if you want to do stripes and would also look good with dark solids between.


The above colours are semi-solid. There will be slight/subtle variations in tone throughout the skein.(posted Mar. 21)

I have in stock:
Tresko Deep Blue(see photo): 45g/71yds. 5.00

Tresko Teal (see photo): 45g/71yds. 5.00

SHOP POLICIES:

Yarns in shop sold on a first come, first served basis.

AVAILABLE YARNS AND COLORWAYS (for custom orders): CLICK HERE.

All items are one of a kind, and I cannot guarantee exact matches. If you buy multiple skeins of the same basic colorway, I recommend you knit two balls alternately to blend the colours evenly.

Prices are in US dollars. I have to charge what I charge, or it just isn't worth it in time and supplies The point for me is to have fun, share the joy, and help contribute towards the yarny lifestyle my husband has become accustomed to. The point for you (I hope) is to receive something unique that will be a pleasure to knit.

Prices do not include postage. Packages to the US cost 6.00US to mail 100 grams of yarn, and an additional 2.00 for each additional 100 grams. It is a bit less within Canada.

I accept payment by Paypal. If that is an obstacle, I have a few other options for you.

Privacy: All details/communications pertaining to your order will be held in strictest confidence.

I am committed to selling only yarns that I consider to be of good quality, clean, new, and properly dyed. I do recommend that you wash your yarn separately, at least the first time. A bit of residual colour sometimes comes out on first washing. This is not fading or colour loss, but a leftover of the rinsing process.

Please do email me if you have any questions or helpful suggestions.

People have asked if my yarns are colorfast. YES! They really are. I have swatched and tested several of them. The Canadian Maple pictured below did not shed a bit of colour when I washed my swatch (and I really squeezed). The other day I dyed a ball of superwash very dark and threw it into the washing machine whole and unrinsed. It came out just as dark as when it went in there. Every now and then, a residual amount of colour may come out with a first washing, but this is residual rinse-out and not fading. And everyone knows it's just wise not to wash bright colours with light ones. Most of us have found out the hard way.
