5th Day of Sock Yarn

On the fifth day of sock yarn, Simply Sock Yarn gave to me...

a skein from a new-to-me dyer of my choice!

To have a chance at a skein of yarn from a dyer or company of your choice from this page of our shop, answer the following question in the comments below:

What yarn line would you like to try in 2017 (from this page) that you haven't yet knit? Have you not tried our latest dyer, Life in the Long Grass? It would be hard to have, since it just became available this week! How about Madelinetosh's Twist Light or anything from Yarn Love? Name the line that you'd like to try and if you're the winner, you can choose a skein of your choice from that line.

I'll admit, I haven't yet knit socks in Life in the Long Grass yet either. It just arrived and then we put it out for the Holiday Open House on Saturday (thank you all who came- it was a VERY busy and fun day) and I'm betting some of you locals already have it on the needles from your purchases that day. It's so very cold here in NE Indiana right now that I like the idea of knitting anything DK weight or more into a warm accessory. Mittens and hats seem especially needed right now. So if I had to choose one line right now, I'd choose this one and the color Storyteller.

Ive been dying to try Sweet Georgia. So that would be the one for me.

[Elizabeth]

I would love Juliet Baroque by Yarn Love. I have never used that yarn and the color is a change for me !

[Kat]

I'm torn between Miss Babs Tarte (I've never tried any Miss Babs) or Madelinetosh Twist Light (I've used some Madtosh, but not this base).

[Pamela herman]

I would pick Life in the Long Grass, Fine Sock in Sock Night or Sock Cacoa.

My first thought was Yarn Love, but now that I look at them, the Black Trillium colorways look particularly amazing in the Lilt base, and now I really want to make shawls out of several of them.

[Aimee]

Life in the Long Grass. I've been eyeing Jezebel for a while now but have been a stupid yarn diet with my friends. As soon as the diet is over that color will be mine, lol.

Fiberstory looks amazing. (They all look amazing, and I haven't tried half of them. Yet.)

I have half a pair knit with LITLG and it's such a great yarn. Glad you are carrying it so I know where to get my next skein.

[Karen machado]

I just ordered a skein of life in the long grass and cannot wait to receive it, but I am equally excited about hedgehog fibers. The color palettes for both are incredible. Have wonderful Christmas!🎄

[Donna]

I'd like to try Life in the Long grass. I think it's a cool name and brings my thoughts back to my visit in Ireland.

[Renee Anne]

I think I'd have to go for something from Black Trillium Fibers. I've tried several listed (and own more that I've not tried yet)...but BTF is one I've not gotten my hands on yet.

[Karen G.]

BMFA Socks That Rock- great colors!

Anything by Hedgehog fibers

[Linsey]

Ooh this is tough! LITLG? DragonFly Fibers? Black Trillium? So tough!!! I'm going with DragonFly!

I still haven't tried your Poste yarn and would like a stripey hat, so I'd go with your Poste Yarn Worsted Striping in … maybe Island of Misfit Toys.

[julie v]

Miss Bans Yowza or Poste Stripe.

[Jane]

Hedgehog Fibres! The colours are simply gorgeous and I've heard only good things about their yarn.
