I’ll continue this virtual unpacking of our recent MJ Yarns shipment <\/a>with the newest yarn at the shop: say hello to the Simple Sock mini-skeins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These 50 yard mini-skeins are semi-solid colors hand-dyed on a fingering weight blend of Corriedale wool and nylon, machine-washable and sturdy enough for socks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They’re perfect for small, decorative projects, like Churchmouse’s “Jolly Wee Elf,”<\/a>\u00a0Kate Gagnon Osborn’s “Holiday Cheer Ornaments,”<\/a>\u00a0Tanis Lavalee’s “Love You Forever”<\/a> hearts, or Anna Hrachovec’s “Tiny Fox”<\/a> and “Tiny Owl.”<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Any of you out there working on “Beekeeper’s Quilts”<\/a> with your fingering weight leftovers? A handful of Simple Sock mini-skeins could augment your collection, provide a little pop of color. The smallest toddler size of Kathryn Folkerth’s “Badlands Mitts”<\/a> calls for just 50 yards, too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mini-skeins like these are also well-suited to striped or fair-isle socks or mitts, many-colored shawls, hats, or cowls. Consider Melanie Berg’s “Solaris,”<\/a>\u00a0Martina Behm’s “Leftie,”<\/a>\u00a0and Joji Locatelli’s “Fine Tune.”<\/a> \u00a0Here are a couple of combinations I dreamed up with no particular pattern in mind, just an impulse to play with the colors at hand.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Look for a basket full of MJ Yarns Simple Sock mini-skeins in the fingering weight section here at the shop, and create color combinations all your own! See you there.<\/p>\n
