Orange Crush

$14.00$33.00

Rocking Sock is a wonderfully soft superwash merino base. It is 75% Superfine superwash merino and 25% Nylon. This is a really durable and reliable blend.Β 

75% merino wool and 25% nylon is my absolute favorite for socks. Soft enough to be worn against your skin all day long, and thanks to the nylon, strong enough to hold up for a very long time. Added bonus, wool wicks away moisture, so making camping socks out of this merino wool is ideal.

Description

Orange Crush

Orange Crush is fun, bright orange with speckles and hints of a soft undertone. It lends itself to projects that are more boisterous, but can be toned down using certain other more natural, toned down colors.Β 

This is one that I named before I ever dyed it. It happens to be something I overdyed my limited edition color Cherry Bomb with. The other yarn that has a Cherry Bomb overdye is Wildflowers. Coincidently, I think this will go well with Cherry Bomb (While my supply lasts) and especially with Wildflowers.

I can see this being a fun color for a multicolor cowl or shawl. If you need a project idea you might try Desert Sun by Tamy Gore, or Shawlography by Stephen West for knitting, or KBB Shawl by Brittany Garber for Crochet.

A little about my colorways: I name all of my colorways for song or lyrics. Music is a huge love of my life, as are the fiber arts. If you aren’t sure what lyric or song the yarn you get is named after, it is kind of fun to go take a listen or to look up the artist. πŸ™‚

Some Colors I think Would go well with Orange Crush:

Blue Oyster Cult

I Guess That’s Why They Call it the Blues

Purple Rain

Grey Street

Brown Eyed Girl

Midnight Special

Stand by Me

Strange Brew
