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!
Teals, pinks

I love Woman From Tokyo and Fly Me To The Moon. I love the more simple colors with a little twist.

LOVE the names- except half of them gave me earworm, LOL!
I am ordering some speckles today, but I also love Seven Seas of Rhye (and the song) and Life on Mars (and the song) for tonals that would look really nice with the speckles.

Posted by: Kelli L | February 27, 2018 at 05:31 PM
Love all these color ways! They make me so happy just looking at them! Love MacArthur Park and Legend of the Glass Mt bc I'm thinking of a project that these yarn skeins might go well with❤️❤️
Posted by: Jo Anna | February 27, 2018 at 05:37 PM

Just two?! Oceana and Marrakesh Express look like spring to me!
Posted by: Eileen Bator | February 27, 2018 at 05:59 PM
Marrakesh Express, because I am susceptible to soft pinks, and California Dreaming, because I am on an orange quest for a project this summer
Posted by: JB Pierce | February 27, 2018 at 06:06 PM
Werewolves and strawberry fields. ( All of them are pretty)
Posted by: Luann M. | February 27, 2018 at 06:08 PM

Paisley Park
Land of Confusion
Girl from Ipanema
Posted by: deborah kitts | February 27, 2018 at 06:31 PM
Legend of the Glass Mountain with Route 66. I would ask if Seven Bridges Road would look bwtter with Route 66!
Congratulations on the new yarn!
Posted by: Karen | February 27, 2018 at 06:35 PM
My vote would go to Oceana and Viva Las Vegas. Already have an idea one. Great colors balanced with solids to make them zing!
Posted by: Georganne D Oldenburg | February 27, 2018 at 06:47 PM
My first two favorites are Viva Las Vegas and Electric Avenue Multi...in fact, I immediately went off to purchase them before they ran out! Viva Las Vegas was a no brainer--given that I still, after all these years, immediately start dancin' if I hear Elvis beltin' it out!
Posted by: Deb J | February 27, 2018 at 06:59 PM
Burgundy and teal. Love copper too,though.
Posted by: Diane Brownstein | February 27, 2018 at 07:00 PM
Girl from Impanema and Viva Las Vegas
Posted by: Alecia Helton | February 27, 2018 at 07:00 PM

Paisley Park and Malibu
Win, win!!
Posted by: Becki Greetan | February 27, 2018 at 07:26 PM
Camelot Multi and Werewolves of London!
Posted by: Michelle | February 27, 2018 at 07:26 PM
Wow this was a hard decision to narrow it down to two skeins. I think Castle on a cloud and Misty mountain hop would be top of the list.
Posted by: Veronica Kettleborough | February 27, 2018 at 07:27 PM
Really? We're only picking two?! Sigh... ;) I'm feeling girly so Misty Mountain Hop and Marakesh. But I also love California Sun. Yeah. That's 3. 🤷🏼♀️
Posted by: Candice Hope | February 27, 2018 at 07:29 PM
Rout 66 and Seven Bridges Road, thank you!
Posted by: Martina Kerr | February 27, 2018 at 07:35 PM
Only picking two favourites is almost impossible! These are gorgeous!! I love misty mountain hop and land of confusion. And California sun. And route 66. And Viva Las Vegas. And,,,,,, LOL
Posted by: Stephanie | February 27, 2018 at 07:37 PM
MacArthur Park and Oceana - but tough to pick just two!
Posted by: Emily | February 27, 2018 at 07:38 PM
Candy Store Rock and Into the Labrynth will be my first purchases!!! Can’t wait and thank you for the opportunity.
Posted by: Stitchmom05 | February 27, 2018 at 07:53 PM

Yum: the Girl from Ipanema and Malibu! So pretty...
Posted by: Sidney | February 27, 2018 at 08:12 PM
So hard to pick just two. The two I like best are Land of Confusion and Malibu.
Posted by: Vickie | February 27, 2018 at 08:17 PM
Girl from impanema and electric ave multi
Posted by: Diane Smith | February 27, 2018 at 08:18 PM
Okay, picking just two is REALLY HARD. I think I'd have to go with Oceana (because it's tranquil and happy and makes me think of the Caribbean Sea) and Castle on a Cloud (because it is soft and gentle and the colors make me think of my favorite irises).
Posted by: Amanda Z | February 27, 2018 at 08:20 PM
Love so many! Electrics avenue speckle and Land of Confusion are my favorites!
Posted by: Kelly | February 27, 2018 at 08:21 PM

Posted by: Marty Begeman | February 27, 2018 at 08:22 PM
California Sun and Castle on a Cloud
Posted by: Margaret | February 27, 2018 at 08:29 PM
Ohhh, Route 66 and London calling!

So hard to choose two favorites, but my daughter helped me pick two: Stanbul Not Const & In a Big Country.
