"Dreamsicle" Orange and Cream Merino Sock Yarn - Hand Dyed

We give this hand-dyed yarn a bath in creamy vanilla, and then we sprinkle it with browned butter speckles. We finish by dipping about a third in a deep, rich orange. Can you hear the popsicle truck? 

This dyeing technique means assigned pooling is easy, or you can use it as you would any variegated yarn, which will give you bits of orange in stripey color throughout. Dreamsicle plays nice with several of our other fingering weight yarns. 

 Patterns We Love:

• Soho Orchid -- free assigned pooling knitting pattern by Zuzana
• Pop Shawl -- assigned pooling knitting pattern by Dawn Barker
• Crescent Puff -- assigned pooling crochet pattern by Knitting Fairy Godmother
• Sock Arms -- a non-assigned pooling knitting pattern works wonderfully with this yarn, too, and Dreamsicle would be perfect as the sleeves in this pattern (it will look like organic stripes when knitting it up...pair with our Butterscotch as the body color for contrast if you wish for a knock-out look). Pattern by Stephanie Lotven.

Need to understand what assigned pooling is? "How to Crochet in the "Assigned Pooling method" by J Hook Crochet provides a great explanation to both crocheters and knitters alike.
