We have more of the big skeins of Colossal Sock from Blue Moon Fiber Arts in the Sale Section!
If you haven't tried this one yet, it's the limited edition yarn that BMFA is offering to help us celebrate our 12th anniversary this summer. Not only are you getting 50% more yarn (600 yards!) but it's 45% off in our Sale Section! We get more of this yarn about every two weeks, and it's likely it will all be gone for good in September.
We've had over 140 colors of this yarn so far this summer. Speckles, solids, holiday hues.... you name it! Want to help me choose more colors to have in the shop's Sale Section? Let's make it a contest! Go take a look at all the colors we offer on Socks that Rock Lightweight and tell me your fave. Not only may you then see it on the fab Colossal Sock later this summer, but lucky winners will receive the color they choose on Socks that Rock Lightweight.
All you have to do is tell me in the comments below what color here that you want to see on the Colossal Sock base by noon on Thursday, July 27 and I'll randomly choose two winners. Leave just one comment, please.
And it's time to announce the winner of our last anniversary contest! It's Andrea M who said this about her Yarn Love choice:
I'd have to go with bouquet or daffodil daze, and would have to get enough to knit a fun, top down raglan tee! Of course, the 3 in the prize pack would work awesome together to make a gorgeous tee!
Congrats, Andrea! I've e-mailed you about your win, so if you think this is you, please check your Inbox to receive your prize.
I keep looking out for mostly-black colorways with a bit of color like Blackbird, Haida, and Rooky. Rooky is my current fave, but it keeps changing. =) thanks for this chance to win!

Arctic Puffin appeals today....that could change in a moment.
Posted by: Diane | July 24, 2017 at 10:31 AM
There are so many colours that appeal to me for different reasons or to make things for different people, but it's "Grimm" that I would choose to make something for myself. Unfortunately I rarely knit anything for me.
Posted by: Susan | July 24, 2017 at 10:55 AM
I would have to go with In a Pickle. So fun!
Posted by: Dari T | July 24, 2017 at 10:59 AM
Bet You Thought! Such a hard decision!
Posted by: Geraldine Scott | July 24, 2017 at 11:00 AM
Xmas Rock, I think, although there are lots of good choices!
Posted by: Bonnie | July 24, 2017 at 11:12 AM
How on earth to pick a favorite?! Arctic Puffin is my choice as I'd love to try a speckle.
Posted by: Anne Marie | July 24, 2017 at 11:14 AM
Antiquated system is gorgeous.

I love Dancing in the moon!
Posted by: Vickie | July 24, 2017 at 11:26 AM
I've been hoping they dye up some Lady Edith. I've knit 4 Hitchhiker scarves with 1 skein of sock yarn and Colossal Sock would be perfect for a full sized Hitchhiker. I keep being drawn to the Lady Edith colorway.
Posted by: Lynn Nicholson | July 24, 2017 at 11:37 AM
Strange Brew, I think it would make a great set of gloves and a hat
Posted by: Rita Kawamoto | July 24, 2017 at 11:56 AM
Supreme Black Dalek jumped out at me.
Posted by: Linda | July 24, 2017 at 11:57 AM
Blackbird is calling my name...just love the darker colors!
Posted by: carolyn | July 24, 2017 at 11:58 AM
strange brew is gorgeous!

Grimm Green
Posted by: Judy | July 24, 2017 at 12:02 PM
Of course I looked for the brightest and my eye caught Sherbet. Love it and would have a hard time deciding what to knit with it, maybe just keep it for a while in view as it's so cheery.
Posted by: Marilyn Hunley | July 24, 2017 at 12:09 PM
Neon Lights on Broadway.
Posted by: Nancy F. | July 24, 2017 at 12:33 PM
My favorite today is Star Speckled Skein! Thanks for the contest!
Posted by: Jan | July 24, 2017 at 12:52 PM
So many good colors, but I can see myself wearing something made with Banded Agate.
Posted by: Wendy Chase | July 24, 2017 at 01:03 PM
My favorites (for now!) are Gin Blossom and Antiquated System!
Posted by: julie | July 24, 2017 at 02:08 PM
It was a tough choice, but I kept going back to Big Brain Blue.
Posted by: Alison | July 24, 2017 at 02:18 PM
My faves are Gin Blossoms and Hobbit garden.
Now to go order a colossal for my birthday on July 31! Harry and I are tight....lol
Posted by: yolanda | July 24, 2017 at 02:44 PM
Oh my, I melted when I saw Grimm Green!
Posted by: Melissa | July 24, 2017 at 02:59 PM
Gin Blossoms is calling my name!
Posted by: Annette Poole | July 24, 2017 at 03:16 PM
I've been looking for a nice brown. I like Muddy Bottom Break.
Posted by: Debbie | July 24, 2017 at 03:28 PM
I'd choose Jade...though there are many I really like.
Posted by: Savannagal | July 24, 2017 at 03:57 PM
I like Whos the Pumpkin. It catches my eye every time I look through the pages and pages of yarn that you offer.
Posted by: Bev | July 24, 2017 at 04:02 PM
Bantum of the opera please and thank you.
Posted by: Cindy C | July 24, 2017 at 04:02 PM
So many great colors, choosing one is so hard. Eeeny, meeny, miney moe....antiquated system.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Marianna | July 24, 2017 at 04:27 PM
I really like Byron Lee tipsy!!!
Posted by: Raquel from Jc | July 24, 2017 at 04:33 PM
Blackbird is just gorgeous!
Posted by: Carol | July 24, 2017 at 05:01 PM
I pick the Scummy Christmas one and I have my fingers crossed.(until I start to knit)
Posted by: RuthAnn | July 24, 2017 at 05:17 PM
Drusilla, please. I love the stunning red with shades of gray.
Posted by: Nancy | July 24, 2017 at 05:58 PM
I'm a brights girl, so Peachy Keen Jellybean would be my choice.
Posted by: sprite | July 24, 2017 at 06:38 PM
Who's the pumpkin!
I also like Heirloom Tomato (I think that's the name, not sure), but it's not on offer right now.
Posted by: Larissa | July 24, 2017 at 06:45 PM
I would have a hard time picking between Smokey Mountain Morn or Heckley Speckley as I love them both
Posted by: Rose | July 24, 2017 at 08:03 PM
In a Pickle, with Antiquated System a close second -- great garment colors!
Posted by: Merna | July 24, 2017 at 08:09 PM
Too many choices! However, Black Dalek would be perfect as it would make a cool shawl that would match most of my wardrobe or a fun pair of socks for him. It's just colorful enough to be fun but subdued enough to be work-appropriate.
Posted by: Sue | July 24, 2017 at 08:58 PM
My fav color at the moment is Royal but I believe it already made the Colossal skein jump. That leaves me with Gandalf the Grey.
Posted by: Kay | July 24, 2017 at 09:05 PM
Fall Frolic!
Posted by: Michelle | July 24, 2017 at 09:59 PM
Ooh, I Mad Heart Ewe really speaks to me. I think it would make a delicious shawl.
Posted by: Jane Penrose | July 24, 2017 at 09:59 PM
Raspberry Beret makes me happy!Thanks for the opportunity.
Posted by: Cheryl | July 24, 2017 at 10:01 PM
Ooh I agree the Arctic Puffin is so pretty. And wouldn't it go nice with the Aubergenius next to it if you happen to be addicted to two color projects like I am currently.
Posted by: Anne | July 24, 2017 at 10:35 PM
I choose Lemonellow. So pretty!
Posted by: DebbIie Hallamek | July 25, 2017 at 01:13 AM
Winter Wonderland
Posted by: JBP | July 25, 2017 at 09:02 AM
I'd love to see artic puffin.
Posted by: tami | July 25, 2017 at 09:16 AM
I liked Bite Me. What a wonderful name for a colorway!
Posted by: Lynn | July 25, 2017 at 09:19 AM
Winter Wonderland or Fall Frolic
Posted by: Sandra Lee Dodson | July 25, 2017 at 09:20 AM
Oh man! Hard decision. I'd go with fire on the mount because it's a perfect mix of bright colors with some darker hues mixed in... And I'd have a good excuse to sing some Grateful Dead all day!
Posted by: Sarah | July 25, 2017 at 09:22 AM
There are so many to choose from! I've missed out a couple times this summer on some great colorways. Looking at the list i would love to see gin blossoms as one of the bigger skeins. :)
Posted by: Brandy Schmidt | July 25, 2017 at 09:23 AM
I'm stuck wearing a uniform at work, but the one thing that's not regulated is sock color! I love them bright, so I choose Shepersisted. It's a colorway that kicks!
Posted by: Linda L in WI | July 25, 2017 at 09:26 AM
I had 3 I had such a hard time choosing from; Heckley Speckley, Gin Blossoms and Bite Me. If had to choose only one... Heckley Speckley :)
Posted by: Amy | July 25, 2017 at 09:30 AM
Twinkle Little vamp
Posted by: Carol B | July 25, 2017 at 09:52 AM
Koolaid for my daughter who loves bright colors;)
Posted by: April | July 25, 2017 at 09:53 AM
Stars Hollow
Posted by: Anne | July 25, 2017 at 10:02 AM
So many beautiful colors-- but it's Grimm Green-- hands down! ( unless I were choosing for my daughter, and then it would be Stars Hollow).
Posted by: Anne | July 25, 2017 at 10:03 AM
Antiquated System is my favorite, but I also like Blackbird and Strange brew.
Posted by: Colette Gjuka | July 25, 2017 at 10:16 AM
They're all so pretty, there's a lot I've bookmarked now to come back to, but Angelus is definitely my dreamboat!
Posted by: Sam | July 25, 2017 at 10:17 AM
I really like "A Speck of Autumn."
Posted by: Carol P. | July 25, 2017 at 10:17 AM
I would love Colossal Sock in Stars Hollow. I love Stars Hollow so much that I plan on using it as a color scheme for our new home.
Posted by: Elaine | July 25, 2017 at 10:18 AM
So hard to choose just one!
I'll go with Shepersisted, though. Love the colors (and the name!)
Posted by: Annette B. | July 25, 2017 at 10:19 AM
So hard to choose! It I keep returning to Arctic Puffin, so that's my fave right now
Posted by: Karen L. | July 25, 2017 at 10:24 AM
PUt the Lime in :)
Posted by: Joyce | July 25, 2017 at 10:39 AM

Posted by: Susan | July 25, 2017 at 10:46 AM

Posted by: Leann Demeduk | July 25, 2017 at 10:52 AM
Beach Blanket Bingo!! Love the colors and love your yarn!! Thanks for the giveaway and congrton your Anniversary!!!!
Posted by: Karol S | July 25, 2017 at 10:57 AM
Artic Puffin is a favorite.
Posted by: Rose Birchall | July 25, 2017 at 10:58 AM
Choose one? Impossible! :D I'm torn between Smoky Mountain Morn and Twinkle Little Vamp. Either would make a gorgeous scarf or pair of socks!
Posted by: Lonormi Manuel | July 25, 2017 at 11:00 AM
Both Lady Edith and Willow caught my eye. Both would make stunning shawls or socks ♥♥ So many pretty colorways to choose from ♥♥
Posted by: Vanessa Clutter | July 25, 2017 at 11:05 AM
Love all the catchy names!
"Bet you Thought" is my fave colorway!
Posted by: Karen | July 25, 2017 at 11:13 AM
I think my favourite today is Rooky.
Posted by: ikkinlala | July 25, 2017 at 11:16 AM
I love "Speck of Autumn" - it would make some lovely socks.
Posted by: Kate | July 25, 2017 at 11:17 AM
A Speck of Autumn - Autumn is my favorite season and that's when my husband and I were married.
Posted by: Chrissy | July 25, 2017 at 11:21 AM
In my fantasy stash, I'd have one of each, but I'm going to say....Luke's.
Posted by: Amy | July 25, 2017 at 11:21 AM
I love Skyrocketing Puddle!
Posted by: Lilie | July 25, 2017 at 11:22 AM
Oh today's fave is Smokey Mountain Morn!! I see a shawl😀
Posted by: Saundra Fowler | July 25, 2017 at 11:25 AM
Tough choice! I think I'd go with electric Koolaid.
Posted by: Katie Marsh | July 25, 2017 at 11:29 AM
I love Jumping Jellybean, at least for today!
Posted by: Terri | July 25, 2017 at 11:33 AM
I'm going with In a Pickle - perhaps because I finally got my cucumbers into the garden this morning!
Posted by: Andrea B | July 25, 2017 at 11:41 AM
All so lovely! Anything with red including Crabby Mc happypants
Posted by: Heather | July 25, 2017 at 11:42 AM
I love Speckle Me this and the Artic Puffin!!!
Posted by: Alex W. | July 25, 2017 at 11:42 AM
Madrona madness because it's the name of my street
Posted by: Yoshie Wong | July 25, 2017 at 11:42 AM
Right now I'd pick Antiquated System but picking just one is so hard to do.
Posted by: MarthaO | July 25, 2017 at 11:49 AM
It's hard to choose just one, but Antiquated System is gorgeous!
Posted by: Mindy K | July 25, 2017 at 11:53 AM
I love Gin Blossom - the deep navy and pops of color! But Arctic Puffin and its speckily goodness is beautiful and fun too!
Posted by: Cathy | July 25, 2017 at 11:58 AM
electric Kool aid is stupendous
Posted by: jo | July 25, 2017 at 12:00 PM
I'm loving the Artic Puffin!!
Posted by: Julie | July 25, 2017 at 12:02 PM
I think Calendula is just gorgeous and it might be the color that encourages me to finally knit a lightweight cardigan!
Posted by: KimW | July 25, 2017 at 12:02 PM
My two favorite colors together are in Lemonellow, just love it.
Posted by: Judi Schaffer | July 25, 2017 at 12:08 PM
I've looked at antiquated system many times, but not sure what to make from it!
Posted by: Deb | July 25, 2017 at 12:09 PM
I love the Grimm Green!
Posted by: Leslie | July 25, 2017 at 12:11 PM
Seal Rock!
Posted by: Kelly H | July 25, 2017 at 12:12 PM
Oh geez, just one? I was originally going to say Scattering Particle, as it will go with a couple (a-hem...) of the mega skeins I have already purchased. But Neon Lights on Broadway keeps catching my eye....
Posted by: Lisa Sauer | July 25, 2017 at 12:15 PM
Jeepers Creepers would be fun. Thanks for the contest.
Posted by: Brenda Michalsen | July 25, 2017 at 12:16 PM
Smokey Mtn Morn. SO many gorgeous possibilities! Thanks for the contest.
Posted by: Linda Darby | July 25, 2017 at 12:32 PM
The Foliage is Fall would be a fun one! And to be honest I just can't wait for autumn to come, it's my favorite season.
Posted by: Tabitha Burks | July 25, 2017 at 12:47 PM
I LOVE so many, but SOCKTOBERFEST is my fav!!
