Sneak Peek - Christmas B.A.M. 2013

“Winter Wear” is a self-striping skein of sock yarn dyed in colors reminiscent of the colorful outerwear of a Maine winter. Each stripe is approximately four yards and is semi-solid in color. The stripes are Beanie Red, Scarf Green, Mittens Orange and Gloves Blue.
Striped Maple Sock Yarn 
Our self-striping yarn is a lovely, thick fingering weight (almost a sportweight) yarn comprised of 100% SW Merino. Each skein has three happy plies, tightly twisted to create a lovely dense sock yarn. You may need to go up a needle size from your usual for sock knitting. 
Content: 100% SW Merino 
Weight: 100 grams, 320 yards 
Yardage: ~320 yards 
Gauge: 6-7 sts/inch on US 1-3 
All fibers from Highland Handmades are dyed with professional dyes and heat set, then rinsed in plain water.
There will be 12 sets with It's A Small World fabric and 12 sets with Sheep in Knitwear for a total of 24 sets with Winter Wear self-striping sock yarn.
No Two Flakes 
“No Two Flakes” is a kettle dyed colorway that is as unique as the snowflakes that inspired it. A combination of the kettle dyeing process and the specific dyes used means that your skein is different from any other skein dyed - even one from the same pot! The result is a watercolor-esque skein of yarn that ranges from snowflake white to winter blue, interspersed with dainty flakes of dark blue throughout. The yarn was reskeined to better demonstrate how it will look when knit.
Sugar Maple Sock Yarn 
One skein of Sugar Maple Sock Yarn is more than enough for a pair of socks or a small shawlette. It is machine washable and dryable, but you may want to wash by hand and line dry in order to extend the life of your knit object. 
Yardage: 425 yards 
Composition: 75% SW Wool, 25% Nylon 
Weight: 100 grams, fingering weight. 
Gauge: 7-8 sts/inch on US 1-3 needles 
All fibers from Highland Handmades are dyed with professional dyes and heat set, then rinsed in plain water.
There will be 24 sets of Comfort & Joy fabric which will include No Two Flakes sock yarn.
