Summer Storm - Full & Sidekick Mini Skein Set - Sturdy 'n Groovin' Sock

You are purchasing a hand-dyed skein of fingering weight/sock yarn AND a 20g sidekick coordinating mini skein in the same base. This base is returning to Groovy Hues Fibers because we were able to resource it again! It takes color like a dream, and it's SO bouncy and holds up so well for socks, hats, and garments. It's spun with superwash Corriedale as opposed to Merino, so while it will not have the smooth, shiny drape of Merino, it will be tough wearing, and still soft enough to wear next to the skin. Even better - it's slightly less costly than merino, so you will eventually save enough to buy even MORE yarn!

NOTE: Photos of stand-alone full skeins are just to show detail - you will be receiving the set described above and below. 

"Summer Storm" is part of the Groovy Hues Fiber "Hurry Up Summer!" 2024 collection. It's a weather system in a skein, ya'll. Deep blues, grays, greens, cream, and shots of bright lightening yellow are randomly mixed throughout. 

"Lightening bolt" is a sidekick solid/semisolid in a lemony, lightening yellow that will complement your project perfectly. Use it for cuffs/heels/toes on socks, or use it in a striping sequence ... or however you desire! 

It is recommended you purchase the amount needed to finish your project because no two lots will be the same. Kettle-dyed yarn differs greatly from lot to lot.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Please ask all questions before purchase as returns are not accepted unless the shop has made an error (i.e., shipping the wrong item).
• All yarn is photographed in a light box and adjusted as well as possible for white balance. Not all screens will depict color in the same way, and your screen may vary slightly from what you see in-person. 
• As this is hand-dyed, no two skeins will be exactly alike, and therefore may differ slightly from what you see in photographs. When using multiple skeins for a project, alternate skeins between rows to achieve an overall blended effect.
• Product care: Although this is superwash wool, hand-washing in cold water with baby shampoo or extremely gentle wool wash is always recommended and preferred for extending the life of your project. Do not soak for long periods of time unless garment is unusually soiled. You may see some color release in the first wash. This does not affect the colorfastness of the yarn, nor is it a dyer error. It is recommended when working with different colors for one project, to snip a small amount from each, and wash together to ensure there is no bleeding into one another. Roll finished garment in a clean towel and lay flat to dry. Blocking pins on foam squares is recommended to keep the desired shape.
