Listings and Available Add-Ons

  • 2022 Spring Mini Skein Mini Series Sets - 120 g of hand dyed yarn (6 - 20 g mini skeins) set designed to work together in one project.  You can watch me dye the yarn in one of the SMSMS videos - each yarn set is wrapped and labeled with the date of the video so you can unwrap while you watch. There are many different yarn bases available in sock and DK weights. The sets come with multiple fun extras. If you want spoilers on the types of extras check out the bottom of the listing! 
  • Add On Full 100 g Skein - 100 g of yarn dyed in a colorway related to the series theme.  Choose between three yarn bases (Superwash DK, Superwash Sock, and a non-superwash Sock weight base.) The three bases will all have the same colorway. The yarn will be wrapped with a fun progress keeper so you can unwrap the yarn while watching the dyeing video. You have to purchase the mini skein set to purchase any add ons.  
  • Add On Double Stranded Sock Blank - 100 g sock blank that will unravel into two matched 50 g skeins of yarn.  Yarn base is 80% Superwash Fine Highland Wool / 20% Polyamide, Sock Weight, 357 yards / 100 g.

SMSMS Yarn Set Yarn Base Options

There are 7 yarn base options for the 2022 SMSMS, and the videos will feature a lot of side by side comparisons.  If the base you wanted has sold out, message me to check if I have more! I am still dyeing more yarn, and will add more listings based on the stock I have on hand. 

  • FINGERING SOCK: 75% Superwash Merino/25% Nylon, Fingering Weight,  463 yards / 100 g; 555 yards / 120 g , EITHER 2-PLY or 4-PLY. This yarn base may feature either a 4 ply yarn or a 2 ply higher twist yarn with the same fiber content and yardage.

The most limited yarn bases are the "Sparkle Sock" and "Merino Silk Sock." I plan to dye more of both this week with yarn I already have. I am also placing a new yarn order tonight - I would never list a preorder on a base that I do physically have, but there is a chance that I can release more.

Let's Play with Color!

Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm super excited to talk more about the series!  The colors are stunning and I want to keep a set in every colorway and every base, I'm truly going to struggle to pick one.
