ColorMix Sock Solids will result in a more marled effect with very subtle tonal changes. The marled effect is achieved from my dyeing up different colors before they are plied (twisted). This will give the yarn visual texture and interest. The color will also shift very subtle just like my multi-colored yarns.
These yarns are perfect for combining with one of my multi-colored sock yarns for shawls and sweaters. If using for socks, one skein is enough for a calf-length pair of adult L socks. For longer socks, I suggest using a sock mini for the toe, heel, and cuff.
All yarns in the ColorMix Sock line are a high twist 3 ply, fingering weight yarn spun from superwash Merino wool with added nylon for durability. The combination of the tight twist, nylon and the extra ply create a more sturdy yarn especially designed for hard wearing items like socks and gloves, while keeping its wonderful next-to-the-skin softness.
Hand dyed by me in a smoke-free, yet pet friendly home.
A note about the milling process.
ColorMix yarns are milled in a small, family-run US mini mill. This means that the yarns are created by hand in small batches on simple cottage industry equipment. Due to this, there will be small variances in the thickness of the yarn throughout the skein.
