Introducing Pearly Twist Sock Yarn!

The first skeins of Pearly Twist Sock Yarn have been delivered to Nine Rubies. More will go to ABCs of Creative Pursuits in a month or two.

The put-up is about 430 yards (if I recall correctly) and the price is $25 per skein.

This is Blackberry Jam



And Jewel Box


The yarn on the left is Jewel Box in the Superwash Sock yarn. The yarn on the right is Pearly Twist. You can see that the Superwash Sock has more of a halo, and a looser twist.


As for gauge, the Pearly Twist is on the top. It will knit up slightly larger than the Superwash Sock. The Pearly Twist can be equated to Louet Gems Pearl or Koigu in weight, while the Superwash Sock is a bit heavier than Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock, but lighter than Koigu.

Gorgeous yarn! I would love to buy some, but I live in Missouri - no where close to California! Can we order online?
