Explore Sock Blanks!

Wild Orange by Tabetha Hedrick
Sweet Georgia Sock Blank, color Carrot Thief

Achieve the most beautiful & seamless color change with sock blanks!

Hand-dyed by the Sweet Georgia team in Vancouver, Canada, Sock Yarn Blanks are a gorgeous blend of superwash Merino wool & nylon that is both soft to the touch & durable. This unique put-up is a fun & different way to play with color.

Before each undyed skein of yarn is dyed, it is knit into a “blank.” A blank is simply a large rectangle knit in stockinette stitch. The blank is then dyed like fabric, which creates a gradient hue that flows seamlessly throughout a project. To knit the blank, you may unravel & create a ball first or simply knit from the blank as you unravel it!

The Wild Orange shawl by Tabetha Hedrick is a stunning piece that shows off the hand-dyed colors of Sweet Georgia perfectly. Designed with a wearable diamond lace pattern, the triangle-shaped shawl has a deceptively simple repeat & side-to-side construction.

It takes just 1 sock blank or a skein (425 yards) of fingering weight yarn. Knit on a comfortable size US 6 needle, this project is ideal for outdoor & travel knitting.

Wild Orange Shawl Materials:

Finished dimensions: 57” wingspan x 18.25” depth at center point

Choose from a gorgeous selection of hand-dyed colorways. Please note this is a popular, artisan yarn & may sell out quickly, however we are delighted to offer special orders that will ship in 4-6 weeks after they are dyed to order.

Happy Knitting!
