It's been over two years since we offered a Poste Yarn Test Kitchen Set. If you are newer to the shop, Test Kitchen Sets are made up of yarn that we are testing out in our Poste Yarn studio that we group together in multiples and sell to you as potluck colors at a discount. This time, we have dyed up a large amount of speckled and solid colorways of the same all-USA-made Targhee blend that we offered in last month's Valentine's Day Kit (which sold out super quickly) and we are grouping them together in two-skein sets. If you love a great surprise and a super deal, don't miss out on your chance to get one speckled skein and one semi-solid skein for 25% off! That's an even greater discount than we offered last time! Instead of $46 for this set, you can grab yours (or many) for just $34.50.
What can you expect in your package? Two soft, beautifully dyed skeins of fingering weight sock yarn that you can either use together in one of the below suggested patterns, or separately for anything you'd like. One is semi-solid and one is confetti colored (short bursts of color on a natural skein). You can, of course, purchase several sets and we'll choose different combinations for you so you can take advantage of many creative options.
We have lots ready to ship now, but if they sell out quickly, we will continue to dye them over the next week and post a very large PREORDER sign on the listing so that you know if there is a week wait for your order. If you don't see a large PREORDER sign, then you know your order will ship the same day or next day, as all your orders do.
Heather (the Poste Yarn dyeing mistress) and Rachael (your personal shopper/shipper) have suggested the following patterns for these sets: Adelia Mitts and the coordinating cowl, Cladonia, Foolproof, Bryum, Something Floral, Catkin, Dream Stripes, and Sand Layers.
Can't wait to grab a couple of these sets! I am finishing up a pair of socks from the Valentine's Day kit now and this yarn is a dream to work with!! These new colors look amazing!

I agree. The yarn from the Valentine'sDay kit was wonderful to work with and feels great to wear! Can't wait to try more and love the pattern suggestions.

Just snatched up a set! This will be my first time trying this yarn, and I can't wait! Love the surprise element too. Now I just have to wait...

I snapped up a set (or maybe two) because when we ran into a little extra money, I told my husband that we needed a plan as to what to do with it. He looked me straight in the eye and said, "I think we need more yarn." Who am I to argue?
I'm planning on a couple pairs of Laurelhurst socks.

Ann, yet another reason we adore your hubby!
Jody and Anne, I loved knitting the Valentine yarn too! I have just one sock done though.
