Sweet Georgia Sock Yarn Blank Trail Runner

Hand-dyed 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 basically 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 plied yarn offers beautiful stitch definition for textured & cabled patterns.  Each unique, richly colored blank will knit into stunning socks, wraps, garments & accessories.

IMPORTANT:  Please note that sock blanks come machine knit in a Stockinette stitch tube.  To work, pull one end from the tube to unravel.  You may wish to work straight from the tube or wind it into a ball / cupcake.  Knitting or crocheting from a sock blank is crinkly, but the crinkles block out perfectly for a smooth, beautiful finish, ensuring you have a magical color-changing experience.  Pre-washing the blank prior to knitting is encouraged by the dyer.
