Regular price

Our "Robin's Nest" sock yarn reminds us of beautiful, speckled blue eggs snuggled together in a mound of woven sticks. We dye this a creamy vanilla color, dip-dye it in sage (which turns blue against the vanilla), and then lightly speckle the rest with rustic mustard. It plays nicely with a number of our other colorways and could be part of a lovely fade project.

This dyeing technique makes assigned pooling projects easy or will knit or crochet up with any pattern, giving you pretty little hits of color throughout. 

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 Robin's Nest would be perfect as the sleeves in this pattern (it will look like organic stripes when knitting it up...pair with a tonal as the body color for a chic 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.
