Some things are still hard to come by since the pandemic, but I'm starting to see some real hope in the supply chain! No, I can't get all the imports I want, and yes some dyers are having a hard time getting their base yarns still. And yes, shipping prices are up and everything else we purchase seems to cost more. But. BUT. I'm seeing some improvements are making me very happy. One of those things? We just got in ALL of the colors of the Regia Premium Merino Yak sock yarn. And I'm delighted.
7504 - Gold
This plush blend is not only luxurious, but it's also easy care. You can machine wash this with all your other sock yarns. While I don't machine dry any of my socks, a friend told me she has dried hers and there wasn't a change.
7510 - Beige
This yarn comes in over a dozen heathered solids and 6 multicolors. The yak fiber has a naturally brown shade, so it gives the yarn a bit of a heathered look and even the brighter hues seem somewhat natural in color. And at 437 yards, there's plenty of yardage for even my size 11 feet. I'd have about 14% leftover.
7513 - Mint
Have you knit this Regia's Merino Yak yet? It's gotten some great reviews from sock knitters. And it's great for sweaters as well. All the colors look so good together so would be great for fingering weight sweaters too. Like this amazing striped one. We can help you pick out colors if you like (just email [email protected] as always), and then you can use the leftovers from your sweater for these socks.
What tempting yarn. I've been knitting socks and picked up a WIP (sweater) that I started years ago.
