Tadaah!

In the holidays I did my first experiments with yarn blanks. I sent the yarn to my sister who knitted some sock samples for me and here they are!

Two examples of the very cool effects you can get when dyeing blanks. The blank was double thread which means you get identical socks! And as you can see, 100grams is enough for a pair of socks and you can make them longer if you like.

Pretty neat, eh?

Stay tuned for my next dye lot, this time it's 100% BFL sock yarn and it came out just amazing!! I'm winding it up now and will post photos very soon.


 

Pink socks from blank

Oh – it's so exciting to see how the socks knit up with the yarn from the sock blanks!
I see so many cool possibilities with this new adventure!

Here is the sock:

And here was the blank:

Isn't it just soo cool!!
Thanks to my lovely sis MiA who helps me knitting the samples.
More cool photos of the socks from sock blanks here on her blog.

And here is the sock!

Here is a sneak peek of the nearly finished sock! Pretty cool eh!?

 

The colour difference in the yarn is due to my sister having taken the photo of the sock. She is my beloved test sock knitter because ...eeeehh... I don't knit socks myself... Embarrassing – I know...
