It's been three years, but we now have more of our Poste Yarn Targhee Sock for you! This yarn is US made from sheep to shop, the wool is grown in the US, the skeins are dyed in our little post-office-turned-dye-studio, and even the labels were designed by a local artist. Can you get more home grown than this?
And the price? Well, even that's special. As I did the only other time we offered these sets, I'm making it available at 25% less than you'd expect to pay. Similar skeins are at least $26 each, but you can get these sets for $38, which is just $19 per skein.
This is a blend that we've previously offered in two holiday kits and one other release like this years ago. It's just not widely available, but the yarn is superb and definitely worth giving a try if you are used to merino and want to try a different breed of sheep for your sock yarn. Last time we had this available it sold out in two days, so please don't hesitate if you think this is for you. We can't guarantee specific color combos, but if you order you can always put a note in the notes section on the Check Out page saying something like "I love blues and hate orange," knowing we will still fill your order doing our best with what we have.
Want a win a surprise set of your own? Just tell me in the comments below what you'd make with these two skeins (please leave a Ravelry link if you'd like to inspire others) before noon EST on Sunday, April 28 and I'll randomly choose one commenter to win!
I think a Grain shawl by Tin Can Knits would be pretty with two of these skeins!

I would make a mitten with the one color skein- Nora pattern
Then I would make a hat with the multi color yarn- Fisherman hat

A shawl for my mom. She loves purple!
Posted by: Colleen D'Allura | April 24, 2019 at 11:55 AM
Socks obviously. Which patterns? Depends on the colors. I have this thing where the colors/dye method (tonal, speckles, striping, etc.) has to speak with the pattern, not just knit anything with any yarn.
Posted by: Tiffany | April 24, 2019 at 11:56 AM
Striped socks!
Posted by: Jenn | April 24, 2019 at 11:59 AM
Socks for my sister and my son.

I have been wanting to learn to knit a two-color brioche item, and I think one of these sets would be the perfect inspiration for a shawl or scarf.

I would knit a shawl, my favorite item to make.
Posted by: Cathy Guinn | April 24, 2019 at 01:43 PM
Wow! Targhee wool is amazing! I love to work with it and all of the beautiful colors would make picking a project really hard. I’m thinking it’s a toss up between socks and a beautiful cowl.
Posted by: Jody Laake | April 24, 2019 at 01:45 PM
CandyFloss socks (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/candy-floss-socks), maybe two pairs with colors reversed!
Posted by: Karen Leonard | April 24, 2019 at 01:51 PM
I would finally make the Kallara shawl that has been in my pattern queue!
Posted by: Mellenknits | April 24, 2019 at 02:02 PM
Always knitting for babies, I would make a striped onesie or a sweater and socks, then remaining yarn would become newborn hats
Posted by: Nancy | April 24, 2019 at 02:03 PM
Depending on the speckled yarn it might work really well for Dunedin by Lucy Hague - I'd love to make the large size of it for winter!
Thanks for the opportunity.

Posted by: Penny Kallmyer | April 24, 2019 at 06:14 PM
With the red or the purple I would make the Spotlight shawl by Janina Kallio. The sets would work well for it, red for me or youngest daughter, purple for older daughter.
Posted by: Diane | April 24, 2019 at 06:19 PM
A wrap/shawl for sure, especially with the gold combo! Too many patterns to choose from! Maybe the Marley from Andrea Mowry.

I would either make a shawl or maybe combine it with a third color for the 3 color cashmere cowl.
Posted by: Wendy | April 24, 2019 at 08:43 PM
I'd knit a shawl with space to show the speckle and a stripe for the solid as in "Blossom"
Last time I knit "Abaia" and loved the yarn.
Posted by: Diane | April 24, 2019 at 08:46 PM
I think Sideswiped would showcase the speckled yarn nicely. But I would have to look through all of my Rav favorites and the patterns I own before deciding. I really love the gold color.
Posted by: Savannagal | April 24, 2019 at 09:10 PM
i'd like to make a wheelchair cover for my legs and feet, something light for summer a green pair would make a gorgeous cover and lighten my day!
