Rainbow Stripe - Fillet of Sole on Tiger Twist-rainbow, hand dyed, sock yarn blank, flat, fillet, superwash merino, two at a time socks
Rainbow Stripe - Fillet of Sole on Tiger Twist
Make the coolest socks on the block!  Start toe up or top down using a two at a time sock pattern, and experience morphing color stripes.  The wicking and resist through the knit blank will result in a tweedy look with interesting color transitions.  This method does cause color to wick more wanderingly and there may be some spots of color in the wrong place.  It magically changes in the re-knitting and you will enjoy the interesting chaos.  The second picture shows an example of one of these knit into a tube sock.
 
Each Fillet is enough to knit a pair of socks with leftovers.  Don't wanna knit 2 @ a time?  Let me know at checkout and I can frog and ball this for you.

Rainbow Twist - Wool, Mohair, and Poly Bulky Yarn-mohair wool twist sparkle rainbow novelty yarn
Rainbow Twist - Wool, Mohair, and Poly Bulky Yarn
This is a neat new base yarn I picked up for a special offer. It is 81% wool, 17% Mohair, and 2% Polyester. The poly wrap string dyes slightly differently, so it adds some kick (and kink) to the yarn, plus a subtle sparkle in the light. There are 210 yards and the gauge is 3-4 st = 1" on US 9-10 needles.

The pattern is a single complete rainbow every two yards. It is dyed with professional acid dyes. This yarn will felt, but the poly thread may produce interesting results. Otherwise, hand wash and dry flat.
