The tweed effect of Super Soxx Tweed 6-ply adds visual interest as you knit and gives the finished socks a rustic look, without the rustic feel. The 6-ply sock yarns combine South American Corriedale fibers with nylon for added durability. Thicker than classic 4-ply sock yarn, they knit up more quickly and are ideal for warm, long-lasting favorite socks.

Lang's Super Soxx 6-ply Tweed is a sport weight blend of 67% wool/25% nylon/8% viscose. Each 150-gram skein has 455 yards. Machine washable. $34

The Caramel Sauce socks are designed for sport weight yarn, so even though the stitch counts are not very big, the size of the socks accomplished is medium to large.

I love the instep detail of the Spare Rib Socks. Mostly a garter rib cuff with a simple little cable and some lovely shaping.

A good basic sock, for both men and women would be the Holme Socks. They incorporate a short row heel.

All of these patterns would require only one ball.

Colors:
confetti cream
navy
blue
pine
beige

It's time for Afghan August! This is our third annual! I wasn't sure how it would be received when we first came up with the idea. Hot. Humid. Afghans?!?!?! So to celebrate this insanity, I'm extending some fun offers so you, too, can have an Afghan August!

So here's the deal. Purchase any afghan quantity of yarn (10 or more skeins in same yarn, not necessarily the same color) and get 20% off! This can be in stock, special order, or drop ship. Starting today through the whole month of August. Cannot be combined with other discounts.

A few years back, a customer made a blanket with all of her late mother's leftover stash. She stranded yarns together to achieve similar gauges and the result was stunning. It reminds me of the firs photo above, Garter Squish by Stephen West. Stranding yarns together makes it go faster and creates beautiful color shifts.

One of my most favorite blankets that I made myself was Umaro by Jared Flood. I did it in a super bulky, but in the years between the pattern has been extended to include three weights of yarn.

Can't decide what stitch to do? Try a sampler like the Porto Blanket. I think it would be great in Ultra Wool DK, easy care machine washable wool.

Temperature blankets are done both in knitting and crochet. Your work a different color, based on the temperature, for a whole year. A great way to commemorate a baby's first year, a new marriage, or any other special occasion. I like this take on it with crocheted granny squares; Daily Granny Temperature Blanket.

These are just my ideas, but the deal is good for any afghan quantity!

Shiny Happy Cotton is the perfect yarn for those summer knits – or year-round wardrobe classics. Use it for sweaters, dresses and accessories – and of course, it's ideal for baby and kids wear. My favorite Felix is made with the dark blue. Yarn fact: the ancient Peruvians believed that cotton was puffs of cloud that fell to earth as a gift from the gods. Now sadly, the Shiny Happy Cotton is not made from cloud, but it’s soft and full of lustre thanks to Peru’s basking sun and fertile soil.

Wool & the Gang's Shiny Happy Cotton is an aran weight 100% pima cotton. Each 100-gram skein has 155 yards. Hand wash. $14.50

Stevie is top-down seamless tee, perfect for spring & summer weather! The body features flattering A-line shaping with side eyelet design for a simple yet eye-catching detail. 4-7 balls.

The Coco Sailor Sweater is your effortlessly cool style statement. It’s the natural extension of our other popular style - the Stripy Coco Marinière - but with sleeves so that you can stay warm at night. 5+1 balls, most sizes.

With a loose drape, deep armholes, and a cropped hem, the Beach Tank is a breeze to knit and wear. Make a tank in every color and rock ‘em at the boardwalk with some high-waist denim, clog sandals and your sassiest shades. 2-4 balls.

Colors:
ivory white
purple haze
eucalyptus green

Alp Natural is the all natural member of the collection. It loves the spring. It offers earthy tones and texture. Unlike other members of the collection, Alp Natural is hand dyed after being hand tied. It shifts textures, from smooth and tightly plied to textured and lacey.

Feza Yarn's Alp Natural is a worsted-weight blend of 40% cotton/10% silk/30% viscose/20% linen. Each 100-gram skein has 230 yards. Machine washable. $20

Springswell is an easy-wearing, lightweight v-neck tee. The straightforward design means it is an easy, relaxed project that will showcase the changing texture of the cotton blend Alp Natural yarn. Short sleeves, a split hem, and a gentle v-neck keep this tee classic and wearable all Spring and Summer long.

The very simple Age of Brass and Steam is anything but basic with this yarn. Free pattern and you can use as much or as little yarn as you'd like. One skein will make a good shawlette. Grab two and you can wrap yourself in it.

The Waldo Scarf lets the yarn do the hard work as the textures transition through the skein onto your needles. Free pattern that calls for 2 skeins.

Summer is for sock knitting and boy do we have some fun new options! As well as some hot summer weather out there... We just brought in Urth yarns, including these two sock options. Self-striping sock kit for matching socks. Uneek’s self-striping magic journeys through 4 sets of stripe pairs, subtly shifting between colors along the way, without the hassle of having to change yarns and weaving in all those loose ends. This yarn is a delight to work with, if just to see where the colors lead.

Gusto Wool's Echoes Fi*****ng is a fi*****ng weight blend of 80% merino wool/20% nylon. Two matching 50g skeins totaling 400 yards. Machine washable. $19

Urth Yarn's Uneek Sock Kit is a fi*****ng weight blend of 75% merino/25% nylon. Two matching 50g balls totaling 440 yards. Machine washable. $27

Colors:
harmony (perfect for Pride month)

They recommend their Mahalle Toe-Up Sock pattern, free on Ravelry. I also think with both of these offering 2 separate balls, you could try two at a time like Two At a Time, Magic Loop Toe Up Socks.

We are restocked on the DanDoh Linen with new colors! Clean, crisp linen fiber is spun into a unique chain ply structure, DanDoh Linen knits up into light and provides dramatic drape. Nice soft handle. This yarn was our most popular yarn last summer, with countless knitters making Agave. If you haven't yet, here's your chance!

DanDoh's Linen is an aran weight 100% linen. Each 50g skein has 124 yards. Hand wash. $20.50

The Skyline is fun to knit. Markers, yarn overs, and decreases create lines of moving eyelets. You’ll enjoy working these eyelets combined with stockinette. The simplicity of this design produces a very elegant top which you’ll love wearing. 5-10 skeins.

Lily is airy and elegant. The lacy design is a perfect summer layer, and includes three options for length and two sleeve shapes — it’s easy to adapt Lily to your personal style. 5-9 skeins.

The Oasis is a poncho-like garments, made by knitting one piece of fabric, then grafting one edge and seaming another to create a neck opening and one armhole. The purple sample is knitted with Linen yarn, double strands held together. This can also be done with a single strand of their Cotton Fine, which we are well stocked on. 5-6 skeins.
