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.
Hedgehog fibers!

Any of the speckled yarns.
Posted by: Anne | December 17, 2016 at 06:47 PM
Practically anything from Black Trillium or House of a la Mode or Miss Babs!! 😍😍😍

Ive been dying to try Sweet Georgia. So that would be the one for me.
Posted by: Niki Rogers | December 17, 2016 at 06:52 PM
I would love Juliet Baroque by Yarn Love. I have never used that yarn and the color is a change for me !
Posted by: Elizabeth | December 17, 2016 at 06:58 PM
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).
Posted by: Kat | December 17, 2016 at 07:04 PM
Life in the long grass has been on my list for a long time. However I do love Sweet Georgia
Posted by: Pamela herman | December 17, 2016 at 07:15 PM
Life in the long grass for me!

There are so many, it's hard to choose one, but I'll go with Life in the Long Grass.

I would love to work with blue moon
Posted by: Jessica Hashbarger | December 17, 2016 at 07:23 PM
There are too many on my wish list of yarns to try. If I have to choose, alpaca Sox colorway breeze.

I would pick Life in the Long Grass, Fine Sock in Sock Night or Sock Cacoa.
Posted by: SusanB-knits | December 17, 2016 at 07:50 PM
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.
Posted by: Caitlin Saraphis | December 17, 2016 at 07:51 PM
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.
Posted by: Aimee | December 17, 2016 at 08:12 PM
I would to try Life in the Long Grass! The colors are amazing
Posted by: Robin J | December 17, 2016 at 08:13 PM

Life in the Long Grass...should've snagged one the other day. Dang it!
Posted by: Diana | December 17, 2016 at 08:33 PM
I'd like to try Life in the long grass. Picking just one color would be difficult!
Posted by: Mary Eagen | December 17, 2016 at 08:38 PM
Anything Madelinetosh.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Posted by: Cheryl | December 17, 2016 at 08:48 PM
I have been eyeing the Vesper Sock Yarn from Knitterly Things. Those stripes are amazing! I just can't decide which colorway my favorite.
Posted by: KimW | December 17, 2016 at 09:00 PM
Miss Babs or Hedgehog Fibres are on my wish list.
Posted by: Alicia A | December 17, 2016 at 09:00 PM
Miss Babs looks fab!

I've been looking at the new Lorna's Lace splatter yarns.
Posted by: Ann | December 17, 2016 at 09:48 PM
Oh The Life in the Long Grass looks lovely! I would love to try it. And mitttens are definitely on my next year to do list!

I really want to try some Hedgehog Fibers yarn.
Posted by: Connie | December 17, 2016 at 10:12 PM
I haven't yet anything from Madelintosh. I see some in my future. The colorway Spectrum I think.
Posted by: JoAnne B | December 17, 2016 at 10:16 PM
Life in the Long Grass!!
Posted by: Lesley | December 17, 2016 at 10:17 PM
I would try something from Ms Babs. In fact the perfectly unexpectedly colorway would be funny...since I am anything but!
Posted by: Dawn | December 17, 2016 at 10:19 PM
I would like to try Primrose Yarn.
Posted by: Terri | December 17, 2016 at 10:22 PM
Would love to knit Life in the Long Grass Fine Sock.
Posted by: June | December 17, 2016 at 10:24 PM
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.
Posted by: Audra L | December 17, 2016 at 11:00 PM
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!🎄
Posted by: Karen machado | December 17, 2016 at 11:14 PM
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.
Posted by: Donna | December 17, 2016 at 11:19 PM
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.
Posted by: Renee Anne | December 17, 2016 at 11:23 PM
BMFA Socks That Rock- great colors!
Posted by: Karen G. | December 17, 2016 at 11:33 PM
I would definitely choose Yarn Love. I absolutely adore ALL their color combos!
Posted by: Leann Demeduk | December 17, 2016 at 11:34 PM
Unique sheep gradience! I keep hoping you'll do a knit kit with this yarn, or some kind of gradient! Unique sheep really looks fantastic
Posted by: Marie | December 17, 2016 at 11:44 PM
To be perfectly honest, i have yet to try Hedgehog Fibres and would very much like to try their sock yarn.
Posted by: SarahP | December 18, 2016 at 12:23 AM
I would love to try Life in the Long Grass.
Posted by: Deb | December 18, 2016 at 12:24 AM
So many I want to try! Miss Babs may be the one I've been eyeing the longest...
Posted by: Kooki | December 18, 2016 at 12:24 AM
I would like to try life in the long grass, yarn love or house of a la mode. They all look beautiful!
Posted by: lynn | December 18, 2016 at 12:29 AM

Posted by: Rachel R. | December 18, 2016 at 12:43 AM
House of A La Mode
Posted by: Sandra Sprouse | December 18, 2016 at 01:01 AM
I'm really looking forward to the arrival of House a la Mode yarns. I would love to try this Pacific Northwest hand dyed yarn. I also have the two Irish dyers on my wish list - Hedgehog Fibres and Life in the Long Grass.
Posted by: Barbara | December 18, 2016 at 01:04 AM
So so many I would like to try! Definitely Hedgehog Fibers, and Litlg is a strong close second 😊
Posted by: Crystal Balzer | December 18, 2016 at 01:07 AM
Anything by Hedgehog fibers
Posted by: Erica | December 18, 2016 at 01:20 AM
Ooh this is tough! LITLG? DragonFly Fibers? Black Trillium? So tough!!! I'm going with DragonFly!
Posted by: Linsey | December 18, 2016 at 01:44 AM
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.
Posted by: sprite | December 18, 2016 at 03:16 AM
Miss Bans Yowza or Poste Stripe.
Posted by: julie v | December 18, 2016 at 03:29 AM
Hedgehog Fibres! The colours are simply gorgeous and I've heard only good things about their yarn.
Posted by: Jane | December 18, 2016 at 03:35 AM
Life in the Long Grass DK weight - Jezebel.
A hat or fingerless gloves would be pretty!
Posted by: Diane E. | December 18, 2016 at 06:32 AM
Life in the Long Grass, for sure!
Posted by: Shawneen | December 18, 2016 at 08:02 AM

Knit with a lot of them but haven't tried Miss Babs yet. Next on my list
Posted by: JackieLemon | December 18, 2016 at 08:15 AM
BMFA because there are so many great color choices. One can never have too many crazy colored hand knit socks!
Posted by: Haley Burns | December 18, 2016 at 10:06 AM
I'd love to try Hedgehog Fibres sock but Madelinetosh is always my favorite!
Posted by: asteride | December 18, 2016 at 10:14 AM
Life in the Long Grass appeals to me with the distinct color blends. Very eye-catching.
