Socky-Talky After Midnight
As close to jet-black as we can make. Semi-solid deep charcoal-black. Need a yarn for a man with colour fear? Here you go! We love this used for heels and toes combined with "Vampire" or "Roasted Red Peppers".

A tone-on-tone semi-solid, in medium and soft teal... that blue-green tone that is hard to describe. Some call it bottle green.

Socky-Talky Black Spruce
Socky-Talky Blackberry Wine

Socky-Talky Blueberry Cobbler
Customers seem to love this colourway no matter what base we dye it on. A medium cornflower-blue base is streaked and splashed with violet and grape-juice purple. Random-dyed, no predictable repeat.

Socky-Talky Bluestone
Not as close to "Denim Jacket" as it looks, this is a medium-soft blue overlaid with black for a very moody, broody sort of effect. We did it to expand our range of "guy colours" and it's real handsome.

Socky-Talky Bubblegum Blues
NEW! Dyeguy is trying out some new techniques and here's one of the first out of the kettle. Deep denim blue and bubblegum pink collide in places, giving tinges of plum and violet. There is a basic colour change about every 12 inches with random overlays and splashes for a sort-of-repeats-but-not-quite effect.

Socky-Talky Bumblebee
Haven't we all wanted to knit bumblebee socks?? Glowing yellow is combined with black - well, really a deep midnight green but it looks black from 5 feet away. Not self-striping like a wasp, this will more likely pool like the patterning on a fuzzy bumblebee.

Socky-Talky Citrus Zest
Streaked throughout in a blend of lemon, orange and grapefruit. Looks smashing with a blue or purple companion yarn! Random-dyed, no predictable repeat.

Socky-Talky Coal and Ash
A gorgeous tone-on-tone semi-solid, with charcoal grey and soft ash.

Socky-Talky Confused Hydrangea
Somewhat striping with soft pink and blue, streaked here and there with mauve, rose, violet, pale pink and a touch of white. When Hydrangeas are grown in neutral or slightly acidic soil sometimes they can't decide if they are pink or blue so they're somewhere in the middle.

Socky-Talky Corn-on-the-cob
Socky-Talky Denim Jacket
A denim blue tone-on-tone semi-solid. Once knit up it has that look of denim, with flecks of lighter colour here and there. This is the colourway used in Sherri Bondy's Jordan Scarf.

Socky-Talky Ink Blot
We like this colourway so much, we're now dyeing it on anything and everything! A rich sapphire-blue ground is overlaid in inky violet purple. Random-dyed, no repeat. We developed this colourway for Sherri Bondy's Jordan Scarf.

Socky-Talky Leapin’ Lime
Bright chartreuse is overlaid with screaming lime green. This makes our "Lime Fizz" look like a pastel. Absolutely amazing combined with "Blackberry Wine".
PRODUCT of CANADA
Socky-Talky Loaded Hotdog
A lively colourway, one of our originals that we've brought back again after a wee break. Mustardy yellow to chartreuse is splashed with relish green and ketchup red, just like a messy hotdog. Random-dyed, no predictable repeat.
