I’ve been on a yarn diet for a couple of years though I did buy some cotton/bamboo yarn for socks for my sister-in-law. She can’t wear wool. I really don’t need any more sock yarn…yet.
I had a gift certificate from Knit Picks from a couple of Christmases ago and they were having a sale. So I decided to get a few balls/hanks of sock yarn that I’ve been eyeing for quite some time.
I can get two pairs of socks out of three 50 gram balls of their Stroll yarn. I chose basic colors more or less.
From left to right: Rainstorm Heather, Midnight Heather, Cobblestone Heather, and Jack Rabbit Heather. I’ve used up my stash of those colors except for the Rainstorm, which is a new color for me.
The Stroll Effects comes in 100 gram hanks. Top two are Raven and the bottom two are Cordial. I’ve not knit with these colors before but I love the deep, rich colors.
This is a better photo of the colors but not quite the same as in real life.
Last but not least is a single ball of Chroma in the Sedona colorway. This is a single ply that I will most likely use for a shawl or another item that won’t get the wear and tear that socks do.
This color reminded me of fall leaves.
I better get my Mosaic socks finished so I can start a new pair using one of these!

I’ve heard good things about stroll yarns, one day I will find a project to get some for :). I too love deep rich colors, they speak comfort to me, not sure why. Hope you finish your current pair of socks this week end :).

I really like the Stroll line of yarn. It wears well, comes in lots of colors, and it’s relatively inexpensive…especially when it goes on sale. I try to take advantage of the free shipping, too, which helps me fill up my shopping cart! 😉

I decided recently to look for something in the yarn/fabric closet. I should be ashamed. Note, I SHOULD be. However, if I knit or crocheted every day for 10 hours a day for the next 10 years and never bought a ball of yarn again, I’d still have some in there so………………………… we’re not going to mention that my friend Bob bought me a few clearance balls of something from Walmart recently and I’ll be picking them up this weekend. (If someone gives it to you, it doesn’t count, right?)

Right. Gifted yarn doesn’t count. Just like gifted fabric, gifted chocolates, gifted wine, and gifted…..
