Our sock yarn is available here. This triple-ply yarn is 80% CVM Romeldale wool and 20% nylon. We pot-dye it in small batches. It makes beautiful socks, as you can see. Both examples featured here took two skeins of yarn, around 360-400 yards. There was enough left over for maybe a pair of baby socks or a tiny cap.
The patterns above are free on Ravelry. My new year socks (the purple/green/turquoise Fairy Queen colorway) are called Toasty Twist by Thersa Fox. Ashley's socks (the purple/blue Sugar Plums Dancing colorway) are called Anastasia Socks by MintyFresh. Note: these links won't work unless you're on Ravelry.
We have Crosby Hill Farm knitting group on Ravelry - we'd love to see everyone's projects. Please join, check us out. Take the time to see everyone's beautiful projects made from Crosby Hill Farm's yarn and fiber.
Beautiful, beautiful! Absolutely yummy!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! My mom just called me to say someone already bought some yarn - and it was you. We hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you have any questions about needle sizes or pattern suggestions. Shades of blue seem to be your color this week . . .
DeleteJill, I am enjoying the pix of sheep, steaming dyepots, and explosions of color coming from the family farm. Hope to see you at Shepherd's Harvest again. Maybe one of your recently shorn fleece(s) will need to come home with me! Hello and well wishes to mom-to-be Jen, as well.
