Sock Yarn Junkie

I am staring at my shop tote that has all of my yarns I just painted this week and I am in love with them.  I have a yarn passion so strong I don't want to share my beauties.  My fingers are just itching to reach in, pull several of them out and wind them into a ball.  I have to mentally slap my hand to stop myself from doing just this. 

Tempest is one of my favorites, and it was a tempest to wind into a ball.  Hence, it's name. 

Garden party is another one that tempts me unbearably.  For some reason green yarns are so beautiful to me.  I think because there are many shades and variations of greens. 

Pictures do not do these yarns justice, they are gorgeous in real life.  The lace weight version of Garden Party is beautiful beyond words.  I love how each different fiber takes the colors.  Truly a unique process. 

As a knitter who loves sock yarns and loves to paint them, I will say that if you want beautiful yarn and you want it to be a nicer variety...look no further, I paint nice quality yarns.  The merino/silk sock yarn is one of my favorites.  It knits up beautifully and never lets this knitter down.  I have experimented with other yarns in the past and I keep coming back to this one. 

From now on, I will be sticking to each yarn that I truly love and not go haring off like a crazed woman in a shoe sale.  I have been to some killer shoe sales and have seen things that would make a sane person cringe.  Unbelieveable is what this should say!
