Description

The listing, wool sock yarn - 3 skeins! 693 yards of knitpicks stroll fingering in firecracker heather has ended.

75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon. I am a yarn snob and I generally avoid both superwash and man made materials, but for socks the nylon and machine washable features are a must!

this listing is for 3 beautiful skeins of knitpicks 'stroll' sock yarn, the color is firecracker heather and they are all from dye lot #16182.

all of this yarn has been safety stored in a ziploc in my smoke free home, and tucked away in a drawer away from my feline companions.

one of the 3 skeins was previously knitted into a sock, but the sock has never been worn - see the last two photos for the sock as well as how this yarn looks knitted up with size 2 needles =) the other two skeins were handled only to wind them into balls.

these skeins are 100% complete! each one is 231 yards for a total yardage of 693 in 150g. the yarn is machine washable, and my experience with other socks I have made using this brand of yarn is that it holds up in color, stitch definition, and size/shape quite well, even after a year's worth of wearing and washing!

the 'recycled' skein does have one defect, the yarn is tied in a knot most of the way down where I started unwinding the sock - see last photo for reference as to where on the ball that knot is. when you knit with it you will need to cut the knot out and do a proper join when you get to it, just like any commercial yarn that is knotted when you get it.

the third photo is the most true to color - I thought it would be all red when I bought it, but there are delightful specks of purple sprinkled in!

Hey Fran and Fragile! Had a really bad week last week...saw way too many doctors, I am still waiting for April so that I can go see a sports medicine doc...have to see a cardiologist on April 3rd also...my energizer batteries are running low in my pacer! I plan on listing more yarn in the next couple of weeks so keep your eyes open for that! :)

Mar 14th, 2013 at 6:17:24 PM PDT by

thank you! I finally have my desktop internet back, and I am trying to photograph things in my life more and more. I have to agree about the yarn lovers, I have had nothing but good experience in knitting circles no matter where I am, or what our backgrounds or generations are!

Mar 13th, 2013 at 2:03:13 PM PDT by

it's ok! better this yarn get used than go to waste in my closet =)

Mar 13th, 2013 at 2:17:51 PM PDT by

After all that work, why did you want to unravel the sock!

Mar 12th, 2013 at 7:11:27 AM PDT by

I did the bind off incorrectly, so it was not stretchy, I always meant to go back and read on it, but never got around to it. I eventually made socks from the same pattern using a different yarn

Mar 12th, 2013 at 7:44:08 AM PDT by

Aww, Ok! Totally understand that! :)

Mar 10th, 2013 at 11:51:31 PM PDT by

I forgot all about the time change...I think it's stupid that it's never gone back to when God says it's morning! And Fragile, I would love to be a part of that group! Maybe we should start one up on Ravelry! :)

Mar 10th, 2013 at 11:55:41 AM PDT by

I'm pretty sure there are already such groups!

Mar 10th, 2013 at 5:28:38 PM PDT by

Mar 10th, 2013 at 8:36:02 AM PDT by

Mar 10th, 2013 at 6:12:20 AM PDT by
