Socky-Talky Ted’s Golden Olive
Price per skein, approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 389m (426yd). 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon.
A base of goldenrod is antiqued with smoky olive green. Our friend Ted Myatt asked for a yarn to make long socks to go with his kilt, and this is what John came up with.

Socky-Talky Vampire
Price is per skein, approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 389m (426yd). 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon.
A gorgeous effect, with a ground tone of rich scarlet-red, overlaid with smoky black. Any vampire would be thrilled to wear socks or a scarf made from this colourway. Random dyed, no repeat. This looks similar to "Roasted Red Peppers" at first glance but "Vampire" is a brighter scarlet and the black is washed over, rather than painted on like grill marks.

Superwash Merino 50/Bamboo 50 (Top)
50% Superwash Merino / 50% Rayon from Bamboo
Lovely and clean combed top. Staple length around 5 to 6 inches, the colour creamy-white. A favourite of dyers for making fancy hand-painted braids for spinners. This is a very soft and luxurious-feeling blend, carded in a streaky manner that helps to preserve the sheen of the bamboo. Use it to spin everything from against-the-skin garments and beyond. Very pleasant in the hands!
Because only the wool will strike with acid dyes, the effect is exotic and streaky both in the top as well as the finished yarn. The Superwash component makes for absolutely no felting during dyeing, and later during laundering. A tip for dyers: when presoaking and rinsing, keep this top in a mesh lingerie bag to help hold it together.
NOT SUITABLE FOR WET FELTING.
