The new group of test knitters for the store has been working away to knit up samples that dyers send and write thorough reviews of their thoughts. In just a month, we've already narrowed down several must-haves and even weeded out more than one defintely-not-worth-the-time samples. SSYC carries a wide array of sock yarn, but each one is tested and given a definite thumbs up before it gets space in our 3500 sq ft store.
Below is a sampling of the first order SSYC just received from one of the small dyers that got great reviews from two separate test knitters. I'll reveal those reviews next week and you'll also find the yarn in the store.
I also have a glimpse of a super secret skein that we adore. This one was so previous to me that I left it to Heather (on the SSYC team) to test knit. Yum. And because you may be wondering why I'm not knitting this special skein myself.... I AM. Just in another color!
That super secret skein looks suspiciously like a skein sitting in my stash...
Can't wait to find out what it is! And I'm so excited to see what new dyers wind up in the store. :)
