Knitty Yarn Peek Thursdays start now!

Time for this to be a regular thing. Every Thursday, I'll have new yarn to show you...a selection of the neatest stuff I can find.

Let's start with Blue Moon, shall we? Cause we loves our Blue Moon around these parts, even if it's hard to find. [I hear they're working on that.] Blue Moon is a really friendly yarn company for a non-wool knitter like me. Their website [they're also working on that] doesn't yet hint at all the great stuff they have, but trust me. It's amazing. I've also checked with the women in charge, and the stuff in this post is currently available. I wouldn't tease you with non-existant yarn. That would be wrong.

Here's the newest thing from Tina and Kaci...tube socks!

Yes. That's a sock kit. For tube socks. In a tube.


This is sock kit #3, which contains equal quantities of Sock Candy in Borage, Coral and Curry. Sock Candy is the non-wool sock yarn from Blue Moon, and it's mostly cotton with just enough elastic so the yarn has bounce and your socks don't droop.


Pattern is included. The tube is mailable, they tell me. Stick on an address label and postage and put it in the mailbox. Seriously hot secret pal gift, no? I can't wait to start knitting these.


Then there's Koi, a shimmery viscose-wrapped cotton yarn.


Yum.


Take Koi, variegate it and add more yum and you get Sari.


Little bits of matte tube, fuzzy things.

To order, contact one of the yarn shops on the Blue Moon site, or order from Tina and Kaci directly, for anything not listed.
Tube socks for everyone!
