I fell in love with this yarn when Emma sent me a sample and I created this pattern for it.
And of course I had to place an order right away for all of the colors  ;-)

Plymouth Sockin Sox came in this week.
This yarn used to be called “Rockin Sox”.
At only $10.00 for a pair of socks, you can’t beat the price!

Six colors to choose from, great fiber blend.

.

We also received a shipment of the new Artyarns Cashmere Sock Yarn.
At $35.00 a skein it’s a pricey yarn, but the sock will last forever and  the colors are really amazing.  There are two strands of cashmere and one shiny strand of wool/nylon.
Great for gifts or when you need to splurge on yourself  ;-)


We have 9 colors to choose from!
