Early this summer at one of the fibery tradeshows, Veronica showed off to me something they had been thinking of for quite some time- a reworked version of their Everlasting sock yarn. Everlasting was a gorgeously dyed skein of sock yarn that wore really well- it was eight thin plies of superwash merino, and that translated to a really sturdy sock yarn. For some, it was a bit too sturdy feeling- not quite as soft as one is expecting from Dream in Color. But the main complaint was that it was splittier than one might want, which means that you might miss a ply or two when not paying attention while knitting.
So Veronica and her team redesigned the yarn- it's much softer and nine strands that make up the fingering weight yarn are now tightly plied into a springy, round yarn. I think you'll love it. I know I do. I currently have more than two dozen colors of this new, gorgeous version of Everlasting Sock in stock right now.
Shown below in Eggplant, Morning Glory, Tidal and Victoria.
If you're looking for amazing colors that shift seamlessly from one to the next within the skein, this is for you.
If you're looking for gift socks that will hold up to machine washing (and occasional drying) and wear day after day, this is for you.
If you're looking for an awesome knit that shows off simple patterns as well as complicated, this is for you.
Want to win a skein for yourself? Take a look at the colors I have in stock today and tell me in the comments below which one you'd like to cast on immediately. Extra love to you if you want to share the link for the pattern you think would show it off. Leave me one comment by noon EST on Tuesday, August 12 and you could be the one to win the skein of your choice!
Oooh, pretty! I love all the greens and purples. If I had to pick, today I would pick Wilderness. (But tomorrow I might pick something else. The Eggplant is gorgeous, but I just finished a pair of socks in purple/gray yarn.)

Star galaxy! That colorway is amazing! Probably just a simple ribbed sock to show off how pretty it is!
Posted by: Kate | August 07, 2014 at 12:03 PM
Wilderness is gorgeous! And I cast on plain ole vanilla socks.
Posted by: Rose Birchall | August 07, 2014 at 12:04 PM
Galaxy.
No, dive.
Wait, wait chili is the winner - for today!
Posted by: Jeanne | August 07, 2014 at 12:06 PM
Mmm - so pretty! It's really hard to choose but I think Galaxy is a must have. It's almost too pretty to knit and give away, if you know what I mean.
Posted by: Ann M | August 07, 2014 at 12:08 PM
Island jumped out at me, though turquoise isn't typically a color I would choose. I knit a sweater in a similar colorway last summer that has big chunky cables on it. I'd make Island into Zora socks (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/zora-3) to sort of match them. Fun!
Posted by: Richelle Chambers Krotts | August 07, 2014 at 12:09 PM
Bought some pants in eggplant. That purple is perfect as most not dark enough.
Posted by: rinice phillips | August 07, 2014 at 12:10 PM
I love tart, what a beautiful green
Posted by: Mary Harting | August 07, 2014 at 12:10 PM
It is so hard to pick between surf and tidal - I love those green blues - I think maybe surf!
Posted by: Danyelle | August 07, 2014 at 12:15 PM
Sangria would be my choice....Leapfrog socks would do justice to the changing colors in this colorway. The pattern is available on Ravellry.
Posted by: Sheila | August 07, 2014 at 12:16 PM
Whew!! Wilderness, Tidal, Gilt...I'm so excited about this new yarn!!
Posted by: Cynthia Jaedike | August 07, 2014 at 12:17 PM
Could you think up anything more difficult to do!? And I liked the old DIC sock. Heavens, what will the new be like? I'd like to cast on Very busy monkey's Rumplestilskin (sp.) in all of the colors, but I'm thinking outside my normal box and saying Chili for my colorway.
Posted by: Barb T. | August 07, 2014 at 12:23 PM
Raincloud! It's a dreary day here, the kind that would be perfect to curl up on the couch with knitting, Netflix and a cup of tea.
Posted by: Jo | August 07, 2014 at 12:25 PM
Loved the Eggplant until I saw Sock Galaxy! Very nice to look at!
Posted by: Geraldine Scott | August 07, 2014 at 12:28 PM
Morning Glory or Raincloud, for sure. My husband finally said he wanted me to make him a pair of sock, and eith of these would be perfect!
Posted by: Karen | August 07, 2014 at 12:29 PM
Gilt! This would be my pattern: http://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/Stars_and_Stripes_Sock_Pattern__D50672220.html
Posted by: Judie H. | August 07, 2014 at 12:33 PM
I love Tart. I love yarns that make a statement and this certainly does. Socks are my passion.
Posted by: Beth Burdette | August 07, 2014 at 12:33 PM
Victoria or Wilderness for me! And I think I would put it on a room for a wrap, rather than knitting socks!
Posted by: Sheila McLean | August 07, 2014 at 12:33 PM
Definately love Nebula! Don't have a pattern in mind, yet...
Posted by: Amanda | August 07, 2014 at 12:38 PM
I love the color Rain Cloud and I would use this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/thornfield
Posted by: Forensicquilter | August 07, 2014 at 12:38 PM
LOVE! I'd buy more #1 circulars and cast socks on with ALL of these colors! I enjoy making socks for my family and friends. I also enjoy teaching others how to make socks.
Posted by: Barbara Cooper | August 07, 2014 at 12:40 PM
I'd choose Rosy for a beautiful pair of socks. I do mostly vanilla socks just to show off the yarn.
Posted by: Rhonda Atkinson | August 07, 2014 at 12:43 PM
Jeans. I'm seriously into a blue period, and jeans (of the right color, of course)are essential. I've been looking for something to make this shawl - have to figure the difference between DK and sock weight- http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/leanai
Posted by: Jane H | August 07, 2014 at 12:47 PM
Sock Chili for sure. I'm not sure about a pattern, I'm still hankering to try no purl monkey sock
Posted by: Sarah | August 07, 2014 at 12:47 PM
So many choices ... I'll take one of each! Or perhaps rain cloud, if I must pick one. :-)
Posted by: akaemi | August 07, 2014 at 12:48 PM
Sock tart! And I've knit with this tarn previously and had no complaints!!
Posted by: April | August 07, 2014 at 12:55 PM
Definitely Sock Tart. I love the colour and the name! I'd look around for something other than socks...nice big scarf/ shawl perhaps.
Posted by: Marilyn | August 07, 2014 at 12:59 PM
I think my toes would be thrilled to be wrapped in Galaxy! What beautiful yarn and colors.
Posted by: Kristy | August 07, 2014 at 01:00 PM
They are all so pretty, but Nebula jumped up and spoke to me.
Posted by: Leta | August 07, 2014 at 01:04 PM
Love the colors, my favs are tidewater, rain cloud and sock basalt which all would look beautiful worked in a shawl or cowl. Two ideas from ravelry - Irish Mesh Cowl and Azzu's shawl
Posted by: Donna | August 07, 2014 at 01:07 PM
Love the Chili-- hot and spicy. Would make great socks. If I win I will start them the same day!
Posted by: Jeanne | August 07, 2014 at 01:08 PM
Must cast on Elysian!!!! 😍😍😍
Posted by: Z | August 07, 2014 at 01:10 PM
I love the colors of Elysian. I'm leaning toward this project.
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knit-night-2
I think the colors would look beautiful! Plus, it's a great project for a novice like myself. :)
Posted by: Crystal Gibson | August 07, 2014 at 01:14 PM
The yarn would be Carolina, the pattern would be Elementary Watson Socks on Ravelry, (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elementary-watson-socks), and the recipient would be my wonderful, caring hubbie!
Posted by: Mary | August 07, 2014 at 01:16 PM
I love Dream in Color! Rain Cloud is Speaking to me at the moment, and I think I would knit a pretty little shawlette like Maluka (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/maluka).
Posted by: Rachel R. | August 07, 2014 at 01:20 PM
What a difficult choice. Like many others have said, if asked at a different moment, I suspect I'd have a different answer, but for now it'd be Morning Glory. And I'm thinking cables, so perhaps Clover would be the pattern to match it to.
Posted by: sprite | August 07, 2014 at 01:22 PM
I love the color Tidal and I would use some lacey sock pattern. I love the beautiful range of colors!
Posted by: Holly Beam | August 07, 2014 at 01:26 PM
I would love to cast on Victoria to make my daughter a cardigan to help her readjust to our weather when she returns to the US for her clinicals. Her name is Victoria and the beautiful colors remind me of her beautiful smile!
Posted by: Cindy Strick | August 07, 2014 at 01:34 PM
Today the yarn would have to be Wilderness. (so many beautiful colors to choose from!) I'm thinking the Embossed Leaves sock pattern would look good in this color.
Posted by: Christine C. | August 07, 2014 at 01:36 PM
Sock Island.
Posted by: Betty | August 07, 2014 at 01:38 PM
They are all beautiful. I especially love the eggplant.
Posted by: Kathy B | August 07, 2014 at 01:38 PM
That Morning Glory is calling my name and I bet it would make fabulous mittens, like Ailbe by Kristi Geraci:
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ailbe
Posted by: Essjay | August 07, 2014 at 01:38 PM
I would be so happy to knit up a simple lace design in Crisp. The tonal color ways are my favourites...those greens would keep me thinking of summer salads through the winter.
Posted by: Stephanie V | August 07, 2014 at 01:52 PM
Sock Island!
Posted by: Kelle Perreault | August 07, 2014 at 01:53 PM
I love all of the above colors!
Posted by: Brenda Williams | August 07, 2014 at 01:55 PM
Love Herbal!
Posted by: Kathy Vorenberg | August 07, 2014 at 02:03 PM
Wilderness definitely because it reminds of the great smokey mountains in the morning. I believe either jaywalker or Nutkin would be beautiful.
Posted by: Labrista | August 07, 2014 at 02:04 PM
Jeans since that's pretty much all I wear and it would be lovely with any top, but every color of this yarn is gorgeous! I knit a simple sock pattern cuff down and let the yarn do the talking for me!
Posted by: Joan | August 07, 2014 at 02:11 PM
Brownie is just SCREAMING to be knit into Ragtime Mitts, by Renee Leverington! I've been searching for that just-right, strong, well made yarn.. And this looks to be it!!!
Posted by: CandaceM | August 07, 2014 at 02:16 PM
I love the color Passion. Gorgeous. Next on my list of socks to knit is Rubus suberectus.
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rubus-suberectus-socks
Posted by: Savannagal | August 07, 2014 at 02:18 PM
Nice... Live the colors.
Posted by: Terrie Garmendia | August 07, 2014 at 02:19 PM
ooh, Nebula is really standing out to me!
thanks for this chance to win!
Posted by: m | August 07, 2014 at 02:24 PM
Ooh, I was going to say Crisp because I love greens, but then I saw Island and fell in love! Just love that color combination.
Posted by: Donna Gerber | August 07, 2014 at 02:25 PM
I'd soooo pick Victoria!!! And then browse through my sock patterns to find "the perfect match". I think Paraphernalia might work well.
Posted by: Fran | August 07, 2014 at 02:26 PM
Oooh, how do you choose? All are such winners! I would love one of each color, beginning with passion. The depth of the color is amazing.
Posted by: Anne Cloward | August 07, 2014 at 02:28 PM
Gorgeous! I love Tidewater. I think the colors are so beautiful that I might just use this yarn for a plain vanilla sock.
Posted by: Becky | August 07, 2014 at 02:38 PM
I would pick Tart, since I that green is so happy! I might use it for the Tender scarf. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tender-9
Posted by: Liz | August 07, 2014 at 02:43 PM
Eggplant! I love it!
Posted by: Melanie | August 07, 2014 at 02:44 PM
I believe I would choose galaxy, although it is a reaaly hard choice to make. Lovely colors, all.
Posted by: joyce | August 07, 2014 at 02:44 PM
Feeling the love for Wilderness and Gilt both. May have to order real soon
Posted by: Lisa viviano | August 07, 2014 at 02:44 PM
Island and/or Surf! Your work is gorgeous! As has been said before, I'll take one of each LOL
Posted by: Mindi McCarthy | August 07, 2014 at 02:46 PM
Galaxy is so beautiful and vibrant!
Posted by: Jenny B | August 07, 2014 at 02:48 PM
Morning GI, Jeans, Rain Cloud...I am so weak, would love to do a cabled sock in Amy of these!
Posted by: Beverly | August 07, 2014 at 02:51 PM
Hard to choose! I love both eggplant and galaxy. How about one of each?
Posted by: Judy Drew | August 07, 2014 at 02:54 PM
I would knit with many colors, but I would cast on in the Wilderness colorway first to knit Karen Kahane's Lace Rib socks.
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lace-rib-socks
Posted by: Ruth C | August 07, 2014 at 02:58 PM
SAngria. Definitely Sangria. Or maybe Rosy. All are so beautiful
Posted by: Pamela Deselem | August 07, 2014 at 03:00 PM
Close call between Eggplant and Elysian. Galaxy is not too distant third. Elysian wins this time :-)
Posted by: Julia | August 07, 2014 at 03:02 PM
Tidal is the one, and I would use it to knit a slightly smaller version of Ocean City Shawlette!
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ocean-city-shawlette
Posted by: Nancy | August 07, 2014 at 03:07 PM
Since I live in the Pacific NW...I would pick "RainCloud" and I would use Hermione's Everyday Sock Pattern.http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hermiones-everyday-socks
Posted by: Linda | August 07, 2014 at 03:10 PM
I would love a pair in wilderness. I use this patern most often.
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sock-patterns-for-regia-4ply
Posted by: Robograndma | August 07, 2014 at 03:14 PM
I would love to try this new yarn. It sounds like a well thought out yarn for socks. There are many great choices but I like "Wilderness" best for its colors and the emotion it evokes.
Posted by: Peggy Doulos | August 07, 2014 at 03:17 PM
Galaxy, for sure. I need that yarn
Posted by: Jennife | August 07, 2014 at 03:18 PM
I would use "Morning Glory" for sure!!!
Would make great socks or cowl!!!
Posted by: Kathy Fullerton | August 07, 2014 at 03:18 PM
Chili. No Sangia. No Chili. Wait...ooo Passion. With this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hermiones-everyday-socks
Posted by: Gina Kostoff | August 07, 2014 at 03:19 PM
I'm torn between Eggplant and Galaxy! My favorite color is purple, and those two shades are absolutely perfect for me! I'm not sure what pattern I would use, but it would definitely need to have some cables in it.
Posted by: Lisa Maenpaa | August 07, 2014 at 03:21 PM
Crisp or Tart, both look amazing to me!
Posted by: Marylu | August 07, 2014 at 03:21 PM
Tidal in this pattern:
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gladys-5
It would be smashing!
Posted by: Leslie Fehr | August 07, 2014 at 03:23 PM
They are all so beautiful!!!
Posted by: Stacey | August 07, 2014 at 03:24 PM
Galaxy, or maybe eggplant? V difficult choice, even in the abstract! And maybe I'd make sarsaparilla's by Cookie A?
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sarsaparilla-socks
Posted by: Samantha | August 07, 2014 at 03:25 PM
Can't choose between Island and Surf! My daughter would probably love a hat in eihter :)
Posted by: Rebecca | August 07, 2014 at 03:28 PM
I love them all, but my favorite is Island. Such great colors. I'd knit them up into Seawall by tincanknits.
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sea-wall
Posted by: Sara | August 07, 2014 at 03:31 PM
Victoria!!!
Posted by: Mari D. | August 07, 2014 at 03:35 PM
Jeans followed closely by Gilt or Brownie.
Posted by: Judy | August 07, 2014 at 03:35 PM
If I had a ball of Passion in my bowl today, I would knit myself a pair of socks using the hat heel pattern(http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall09/PATThatheel.php) I have been thinking in need a pair one red socks!
Posted by: Linda Byrn | August 07, 2014 at 03:38 PM
I like Morning Glory and Jeans. It's a toss up!
Posted by: Kristen Beckman | August 07, 2014 at 03:43 PM
Tough call between Dive, Tart and Tidal, but I might just jump on Tidal because it's not my usual green! Lately I make more shawls than socks, so it would likely end up as a lacey crescent
Posted by: florapie | August 07, 2014 at 03:44 PM
So hard to choose, but it would have to be gilt, or, wilderness. Oh, so hard to choose.
Posted by: Liisat | August 07, 2014 at 03:45 PM
Ohhhh, Wilderness!!!! Hermoine's everyday socks!!!!
Posted by: Janene | August 07, 2014 at 03:46 PM
Oh dear lord I want them all! But I adore Tidal. /drool
Posted by: Amanda Maas | August 07, 2014 at 03:48 PM
Crisp and I would have to make a light weight summer scarf but I don't have a pattern picked out.
Posted by: sarah hollman | August 07, 2014 at 03:48 PM
Morning Glory, love the colors and I'd like to make some socks with a little pattern.
Posted by: Cindy | August 07, 2014 at 03:49 PM
I love the Island!
Posted by: Melanie | August 07, 2014 at 03:51 PM
I really like Plenty: it is so unique! I am thinking of using it with this pattern by Very Busy Monkey: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/harlequin-opal-shawl
Posted by: Amy Rutter | August 07, 2014 at 03:52 PM
I'm a redhead whose mother would never allow her to wear red--so now that I'm all grown up, I'm drawn magnetically to anything red. It's Sock Sangria for me and I'd use a pattern I love "Mock Cable Socks" by Cynthia Guggemos to show off those color transitions.
Posted by: Ann | August 07, 2014 at 03:54 PM
Tidal is gorgeous. Torn between another shawlette or some socks.
Posted by: Judith | August 07, 2014 at 03:56 PM
Galaxy would be gorgeous knitted up in Hermione's Everyday Socks.
Posted by: Virginia Smith | August 07, 2014 at 03:59 PM
Would love to knit Herbal to remind me of the beautiful herbs that are growing in my garden today:)
Posted by: Suzie Kaliszewski | August 07, 2014 at 04:00 PM
Basalt must be knit up into Circinus by Rich Ensor http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEdf13/PATTcircinus.php
Posted by: Gretchen DiLuca | August 07, 2014 at 04:03 PM
I'd love to cast on "Island". I would just be torn between knitting socks or making a lovely scarf. Truly beautiful colors.
Posted by: Venice Smith | August 07, 2014 at 04:06 PM
I would choose Tart....such a beautiful green!
