New from Opal, Sweet & Spicy 2

I have the newest collection from Opal, plus restocks of all colors of the Hundertwasser collection!

Opal has released their Sweet & Spicy 2 collection. The first collection sold quickly last year, and I'm so pleased that Opal has done another version of this collection. The colors are all plays on sweet things (like watermelon and cake balls) or spicy things (like pepper and apparently red cabbage...). Each one of these is totally knit worthy.

As you may have realized when our new website design came live last month, I'm able to offer a special price on 4-ply Opal collections. Each ball regularly retails at $18, but you'll find the price at Simply Socks Yarn Company to be just $15.

Opal is a sock yarn that you could easily gift to someone who appreciates hand knit socks, but may not neccessarily be up to hand washing or flat drying their gift on a regular basis. Opal, Trekking XXL, Berroco, Regia... all these I could knit for anyone in my family and not worry about them felting or shrinking or being ruined by less-than-perfect care. This is definitely the time of year to stock up on those types of sock yarns, since many of us are getting gift knits done for the holidays.

I love Opal yarns! The self stripping makes up into such great Sockhead Slouchy hats. I might get to keep one for myself one of these daysLOL And, when knit into a baby sweater, the colors are so good! Had to order 8611 - it reminded me of the Pink and White licorice candy sold at the movies. And the 8611 reminds me of cupcake sprinkles - and a great choice of colors for a baby sweater and socks!

Opal is my favorite sock yarn. I especially love the 6-ply which isn't as common. When I get home from a few days at the ocean, I'm going to be placing an order.

I meant the 8-ply XLarge. It knits quickly and makes wonderfully warm socks.

I would knit Uncommon Dragon in Silver Lining. This book has recently been reviewed by so many podcasters and every single review that I've heard has been EXCELLENT and they all say it is a must have for knitters!
