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!
