So, I spent a recent Monday evening dyeing yarn. I needed the jolt of color because this whole New England winter thing is getting old. Every time I go outside, I brace myself for the chill that is coming. I would say that I miss DC and its much earlier spring, but I think DC has had more snow this winter. So, umm….maybe not.
But onto the fun stuff – the yarn! It’s more sock yarn than I could use in a year (I’m a slow knitter), so I’m offering it for sale. These are smaller than the 100g skeins that sock yarn usually comes in, but I just finished a pair of monkeys for my size 9 gunboat feet and they were only 68 grams, so these might actually be a good size. Prices include shipping anywhere in the U.S.
First up – Orbit GONE!
62 grams of Louet Gems fingering weight merino yarn hand dyed (by me) in blues, teal, and a splash of reddish orange for a little punch. At least 240 yards. 11 dollars, shipped; 9 dollars, local.
Peacock GONE!
82 grams of Louet Gems fingering weight merino yarn that I dyed in green, blues and purples. At least 315 yards. 14 dollars, shipped, 12 dollars local.
Tidepool GONE!
83 grams of Louet Gems fingering weight merino yarn that I dyed in blues and a brown with a smidgen of light purple. At least 320 yards. 14 dollars, shipped; 12 dollars local.
Prep schoolGONE!

Berries and mint
82 grams of 3-Ply 75% Superwash Wool 25% Nylon dyed in purple, magenta and greens. This sock yarn has at least 310 yards. 11 dollars, shipped; 9 dollars local.
Chivalry
98 grams of 3-Ply 75% Superwash Wool 25% Nylon hand dyed (by me) in neutrals – browns, black, grey and natural. This sock yarn has at least 375 yards. 12 dollars, shipped. (I think this one has one knot in it.) 10 dollars local.
That’s it for now. If you’re interested, leave me a comment.

Hey, Tracy. I love the blue/green/purple (my 3 favorite colors0. I’d take taht off your hands. Add it to my tab!

Oh, and Koigu hasn’t used the Louet base in a long time. Years. Still, it’s nice yarn.

Love prep school and (for once) it’s not similar to socks I already own (I have a tendency to accumulate very similar colorways without realizing it). If it’s not already spoken for, I’ll trade you cold hard cash for it.

JJ: Edited per your info.
B: How can it not be similar/ it has blue in it, and we love blue!?

I would like the “Orbit” one. I saw it on your Ravelry stuff and liked it then. I won’t be at knitting this week, but I’ll give you the $ next time I see you!

Not that I need any sock yarn. Or any yarn really. But if you make another peacock, can you save it for me?

Dibs! On tidepool that is. If you’ll bring it next week, I’ll bring you some money, and this can be my reward for finishing my Olympic knitting. (Which will happen…someday.)
