Calling all over-achieving sock knitters! This is for the sock knitter who wants totally unique socks.
Sock Blanks
This is a 6 ounce skein of sock yarn (about 480 yards), made into a scarf-like piece that is knit with 2 strands held together. It is knit very loosely and finished with some scrap yarn (the green that you can see) to keep the live stitches from raveling. All this is done so the over-achieving sock knitter can dye this scarf-like thing in any way their heart desires. Then when dry, unravel the knitting, winding as you go into two identical balls. These balls of yarn will then become an identical pair of socks.
Ready to go
Other options could be a scarf that is mirrored in its colors from one end to the other, or a shawl that is mirrored or repeated from top to bottom. Dyeing a blank such as this is an easy way to get long color transitions. They will sell for $32 for the 6 oz blank. What do you think?
