Hand dyed sock yarns by Lorna’s Laces in solid colour ways. It takes a while to get Lorna’s Laces. From ordering to delivery it is usually about 4 months. It is always worth the wait. The last time we got a shipment of solid dyed colours our supplies depleted rapidly. Lorna has her fans. Her sock yarn is wonderful to knit with and wears like iron thanks to the 20% nylon mixed in with the washable merino.
The name “Shepherd Sock” may imply socks is what this yarn is good for and although this is true, I am thinking mittens. Fair Isle mittens are one of my favorite things and I enjoy inventing colour combinations that I might adopt to this purpose. Here are a few ↓

Top: Firefly with Charcoal.
Bottom right: Natural with Patina
And here are a few patterns that peak my interest↓
Clockwise from top left: Polska, Swedish Fish, Warm Woolen Mittens, Squirrel Sampler Mittens, Chrysanthemum, Latvian Mittens.
Just need to pick some colours
Craftily yours
