Most of my items are knit from high quality wool, alpaca, cotton, or wool blends. I recommend hand washing in cool water and air drying unless otherwise specified with the item.

Will my naturally dyed yarn fade or wash out?

The colors in our skeins of Garden Yarn are a permanent part of the protein structure of the wool – so no washing out! We do recommend washing in cool water with a gentle, pH neutral soap (we like Eucalan or Unicorn Fiber Rinse!). After the first wash you may see a little color in the rinse water, but rest assured that it will not significantly affect the color of the yarn. Just like any fabric or yarn, colors may fade slightly over time, more if frequently exposed to bright sunlight. We recommend storing your creations in a dark, temperature-controlled place when not wearing or using.

Where do you source your yarn?

In the past 2 years I have shifted to sourcing 100% of the yarn and roving I dye from the USA. I am proud to use Brown Sheep Company yarn and support their family-run Nebraska business. They buy wool from USA farmers, and the wool is a blend of Corriedales, Rambouillets, and Columbians. They are an environmentally conscious company which is very important to me.

Where do you get the dye stuff for your colors?

All of our dye plants are either organically grown in my own garden or locally sourced from the surrounding 5 miles or so. All dyes materials are harvested sustainably.

Are there chemicals used in the dye process?

We use time-honored processes to provide the best color to your yarn. These include the use of alum in small amounts, an aluminum based mordant (allowing the color to bind with the yarn protein). Alum is a non-toxic additive that can be found in many places (including the grocery spice aisle as a crunch enhancer for pickles!), but if you have a sensitivity to aluminum you may wish to select a color that does not use an alum base (please contact Kendra@knittyvet.com for more information).

Do you accept customs orders?

Absolutely! I am happy to discuss custom colors including sweater quantities of yarn. Given the seasonal nature of plant dyes some colors may not be available year round. Please contact me here on Etsy or email Kendra@knittyvet.com to get your order started!

Are you looking for a different, new sock knitting pattern? You've found it! I used techniques of cables and lace to produce these striking looking socks. The pattern is intricate and immensely satisfying to knit! My inspiration was Brienne of Tarth from A Game of Thrones - Maid of the Sapphire Isle.

This listing is for the PATTERN and NOT finished socks.

Knitter level: Intermediate to Advanced Intermediate – Knit in the round, pattern/lace work, decreases, heel turning. It is probably best if these are not the first socks you knit. You may work the pattern from either a chart or written out form - both are included.

Finished size: Women’s One Size Sock

Materials:
Yarn: Sock weight yarn, about 100g. In example: Cascade Yarns Heritage Paints color 9825 “Isle of Skye”, 2.25 oz/450 meters. (100g/437 yd)
Needles: US size 2 (or size to achieve gauge) double point needle, set of at least 4
Options: Cable needle or extra double point needle, tapestry needle

Gauge: 26 sts/4”, 36 rows/4” stockinette stitch

This pattern is available as digital download immediately after purchase. If this does not seem to work please send me a convo - I can send the pattern by email.

IMPORTANT NOTE: By buying this pattern you agree that the pattern is for personal use and neither the pattern nor the finished product may be resold or copied. Make them for your friends, co-workers, lovers... but no selling.
