One of a Kind Oddball - Dreamy Sock Base

Originally dyed as a skein of Candy Apple Red, something went haywire in the dye pans and it didn’t turn out true to the original recipe. So I sprinkled a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, and here we have a wonderful, unique skein of Dreamy Sock yarn! Ruby red, with speckles of gold and purple, this is one very special colour! 

Dreamy Sock Base: If you’re familiar with my Dreamy DK base, this is the fingering weight version of the same thing. Made up of 70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk, and 10% Cashmere, with 437 yards/100grams per skein, this yarn is a 4ply make up, It’s a non Superwash yarn, so the colours of dye always look a lot softer and more toned down, while any speckles turn out a bit more muddled. Colourways always look different on this base, I try to add photos to the listing whenever possible. It is unbelievably soft, and nothing short of a delight to knit with, it has been my favourite base for some time now! Being an untreated yarn base, it’s important to alway hand wash your garments in cold water, and lay them flat to dry. Colour bleeding is more common with this base, and should be expected, especially in the first few washes.
