Dreamsicle sock yarn in extrafine merino -- variegated assigned pooling orange and cream and lightly speckled

$ 26.50

We give this hand-dyed yarn a bath in creamy vanilla, and then we sprinkle it with butterscotch 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. 

    • 100 grams / 400 meters (437 yards)
    • 4ply Deluxe Fingering Weight Sock Yarn  
    • 85% Superwash Extrafine Merino (19.5 micron)
    • 15% Nylon Yarn 
    • Hand Wash in cool water / Dry Flat 
    • Recommended Needle Size: 2.5 - 4mm needle (US 1.5 - 6 needle / Crochet C-G)
    • Gauge (stockinette stitch): 28sts x 36 rows over 4 inches on 3.25mm (US 3) needles

    The extra-fine merino wool (19.5 microns) is especially cushy and feels great on sensitive skin. It's blended with a bit of nylon for extra durability -- perfect for long-wearing projects like gloves and socks. 

    Created by us in our home state of Washington using professional commercial dyes that won't fade or bleed, because we steam-set them and then wash and rinse each one thoroughly.

    Note: The fibers used in our yarn base are produced and processed in ways that do not harm the animals or the environment. We only use yarn made from shorn or naturally shed wool that is certified as mulesing-free.

    Beautiful yarn

    This yarn came quicker than expected. I was quoted longer than it took to arrive. When received, it was even cooler than the photos online. It has a slight sheen and feels good to knit with. I will definitely order from global backyard again.

    The yarn is nice quality but once I made my little dress for a baby, it looks like a car drove over it. I thought the black was going to be green. I will have to redo this project.

    This is my first time to use Global Backyard’s bulky yarn and I love it. The 100% Superwash Merino Wool is so soft and has a beautiful natural sheen. At first I thought the yarn would be slippery, like silk yarns; but to my delight it was not slippery and just so easy to work with. I will definitely continue to support Global Backyard. P.S. I have also used their sock yarn base and that is also a dream to use. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to my future yarn selections and projects with both yarn bases. Thank you Global Backyard!
