Designed to look like the famous Hudson Bay blankets, indigenous to Canada;-) Each skein is dyed so that the knitter can knit a pair of natural colored socks with a stripe of Deep Blue, Golden Yellow, Deep Red, and Deep Green, just like the blankets, with a narrower stripe of natural between each stripe. It has been dyed with the stripes occurring at each end of the skein, with lots and lots of natural colored yarn in between. If you divide the skein in half you will have two identical balls, one for each sock:-)
This colorway was designed and originally sold by Everything Old Crafts, over on Etsy. We can thank her for graciously giving me the rights to sell this awesome colorway.
Strong Heart: 80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon 2-ply high twist. 400 yards, 100 grams. The two plies in this yarn plump together making this yarn is so soft. It includes a touch of nylon which makes it very strong, perfect for socks, mittens, hats.
Steadfast: 75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon 2-ply high twist. 464 yards, 100 grams. This is the newest addition to our arsenal of yarn bases, and is very strong, yet soft to the touch. The two plies in this yarn plump together making this yarn so soft. Perfect for socks, mittens, hats, and more yardage for scarves and shawls.
The test sock was a plain vanilla sock pattern knit on US 1 needles over 64 stitches. Your stitch size may be different than mine so the stripes may be slightly narrower or wider than mine.
~400 yds, 100 grams
7-8 stitches = 1 inch on US 1-3
