After many, many, many false starts Socktoberfest is finally upon us. We’ve got nine brand new colorways for you to chose from on our new custom-milled sock yarn base. You sock knitting maniacs told us you wanted a sock yarn made from Superwash Merino with just a touch of nylon to make them last.
My dear friend Suzy and I are very proud of these new colorways, many inspired by the fall foliage of New England. My person favorite, however, is Toe Shoes, pictured above. It’s the softest, baby-est pink you’ve ever laid eyes on. The combination of the color and the softness of the wool is just so lovely!
We will be experiencing a slight shipping delay while Erin and I move ourselves, our stuff and our flock to our new farm in Virginia, but we’ll get your order out ASAP.

gorgeous colorways! all of them!
Ah, Susie, your normal probably is weeks away, but it is going to be the best normal ever. You are going to be sooo happy.
Hi Suzy,
I can’t beleive that you are able to do your Socktoberfest while moving! You are one organized lady. I’ll bet you and your ewes are going to enjoy the warmer weather, though…where I live, it is 12 degrees f this morning according to my porch thermometer. I had a question though about this yarn….is the wool in this yarn from small American family farmers? The reason why I ask is that I was told by a small custom mill that this process wasn’t available here in the States and it is also a fairly complex chemical process to apply the resin to the wool fibers and so Superwash wool is generally imported from big commercial plants. Was the information I got from the custom mill incorrect or out of date? I know that you are a big supporter of small family farms (who are being competed out of a living by cheap imports), so I was puzzled about this. I know that you used to have a career in journalism, perhaps you could do some investigating about this (in your copious spare time that is).
