Our latest Poste Yarn is LIVE! I'm so happy to introduce to you Select Sock, a hand dyed, fingering weight yarn dyed in small batches only for us in our little dye studio.
Select Sock is a super soft yarn with superior stitch definition. There's a wide array of tonals, multicolors and speckles available right now, 44 colors in all, and we will continue to offer this yarn as we have time available in our dye schedule. This is likely the largest array of colors you'll see available of this yarn at once, as we already have a full dye schedule and Select Sock won't be back in the dye pots til later this spring. Some of these colors aren't repeatable, so grab what you like while you see it.
How are we celebrating this release? First, skeins are just $16! This will normally retail at $18, but for the next week (through March 5th) you'll be able to snag as much as you can for just $16 a skein. For a similar sock yarn, you'd expect to pay around $24.
Second, we'll have contests throughout the week here on the blog and on Instagram. Enter to win something awesome- read to the end for the first contest.
Third, I'll share pattern ideas and color pairings to help you combine the colors into this collection into more than socks. Of course, Select Sock is perfect for socks. It's soft, durable, wears well and is machine washable. But those are also the same characteristics that make it work for baby items, lightweight garments, shawls and accessories.
Thank you so much for your continued support of SSYC. I introduced our first shop yarn, Simply Sock Yarn Solids nearly a decade ago, and since then we have continued bringing you what you tell us you want by starting our own in-house dye shop and bringing you stripes, beautiful fiber blends, and great deals from our own Poste Yarn studio.
So let's kick off this release party with a contest! Tell us in the comments below what are your two favorite colors and one lucky person will be randomly chosen to win a $32 online gift certificate to the shop so you can buy two skeins! Contest closes at noon EST on Saturday, March 3. Now, I don't recommend waiting to snag any skeins you really want because these are likely to sell fast at this price, but perhaps use it for the next batch or for something else that's super awesome. Thanks for helping us celebrate!
