The Wizard - MATA HARI SOCK

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 03:31:03 -0400

$23.00
If you haven't heard the song "The Wizard" by Bat for Lashes, I strongly suggest you YouTube it right now. Go ahead, I'll wait. After you've heard the song, this color will make so much sense. The deep bass and the sultry singing come to life in this cornucopia of color.

One skein should be sufficient to knit a pair of adult socks. But don't limit yourself to socks! Try Mata Hari Sock for lace shawls and scarves - you'll be amazed at the stitch definition and softness. This is easily the softest merino/nylon blend I've been able to find.

MATA HARI SOCK - for the elusive
440 yards/95 gram skein
75% superwash merino wool, 25% nylon
Fingering weight, approximately 8 sts per inch
US 0-2, variable depending on project

CARE
Machine wash lukewarm or cool, lay flat to dry.

COLORS
Please note that with the first washing, there may be some color bleeding. The color of the yarn will not fade. I use professional acid dyes to ensure color fastness.

PHOTOS
As always, colors vary from monitor to monitor. While I do my best to accurately portray the color, there may be some differences. Typically, listings will contain photos of yarn that has been reskeined, and photos of the yarn before reskeining, so you can have a more accurate picture of how the colors will appear when knitting.

Yup, I named a color after my cat. To be fair, her coat is exactly this color... and just as soft!

Mmm, Autumn! While I don't typically celebrate Thanksgiving, I am a huge fan of pumpkin pie. The first day of October, I'm ordering it from any bakery that will make it for me. It certainly isn't the best pie in the world, but it is definitely in my Top 5 Pies List. And yes, I have a Top 5 Pies List.
