We've carried Jojoland for well over a decade now, and now we're adding their worsted weight yarn as well! You'll now find Melody Superwash (fingering weight 100% merino) and Rhythm Superwash (worsted weight 10)% merino) in the shop in a huge array of gradient colors!
Hover over the pic to see the color number. Melody colors shown directly below.
Not only are the gradient colors simply lovely, but the price is nice. You can get a fingering weight pair of socks for just $15. And if you want to make thicker, worsted weight socks, I might add a third ball just in case, since the yardage is 110 yards. Unless you're doing just shorties.

I know many of you require nylon in your sock yarns, but this is another one that I've knit socks out of that is 100% superwash merino. No nylon. And I've knit two pairs of this and they wear just fine. I find that if I knit a tight enough fabric that nylon isn't an issue with my socks lasting.
I added more of this to the shop because one of you specifically asked in the note/comment section at Check Out on an order if I could restock soon and also add the worsted weight. You all give me the best ideas and suggestions and I do listen to what you want! Please continue to give me suggestions of yarns you want and ways to make SSYC better, because your ideas have helped us grow into what we are here!
This one is color ms11. I've knit ms08 as well and it's been on display at the shop before but I can't seem to find the photo. It really is an enjoyable knit and makes wonderful crochet projects as well. Just keep in mind that your socks will more likely be "cousins" than "twins" because like most gradient yarns, they start at different places in a big cone of gradient that is then wound into smaller balls. So you don't get two matching balls typically, even if they are the same "dyelot."
Very pretty. Can you tell me the name of this sock pattern? Thanks.
