Try my new ZestySock- this is another new base for me, from Louet. It is a nicely twisted yarn, very soft and midway between my SlenderSock and JollySock in terms of weight. I am trying to name all the colorways beginning with the letter "Z"- that is quite a challenge as I am sure I will run out of words before I run out of ideas for colors. Please feel free to send any suggestions!
Also, I'll be dyeing up several new laceweight yarns and some Aran weight that just arrived. Stay tuned! HSKS6-15% off Ravelry Hogwarts-Little Bit of Everything Swap-15% off Ravelry Scary Socks KAL- 13% Discount SAM6 Members-15% off

Information about my base yarns:
BellaSock: This is a 100% superwash merino wool. It's very soft and bouncy. Each skein is approximately 120g and 500 yards. This is a very generous skein. The colors are dyed in fashion I call "Pseudo Solid", and should look lovely in lacy patterns or other patterns that have a lot of texture.
HoneySock: This is a 70/30% blend of superwash merino wool and silk. It's beautiful and soft, plump and shiny. Each skein is approximately 115g and 380 yards. This is enough to make a medium size pair of ladies socks.
JollySock: 100% Superwash merino wool with a fairly tight twist. It's a plumper yarn than the SlenderSock. Each skein is approximately 115g and 380 yards. This is enough to make a medium size pair of ladies socks.
SlenderSock: 100% Superwash merino wool with a nice tight twist. Each skein is approximately 115g and 480 yards.This is more than enough for most sock patterns.
SteadySock: 80% Superwash merino wool and 20% Nylon with a nice twist. The touch of nylon adds a bit of durability to the yarn. It is the nicest merino/nylon blend that I've worked with. Each skein is approximately 115g and 440 yards.This is more than enough for most sock patterns.
SwankySock: This is a luscious 70/30% blend of superwash merino wool and SeaCell® fiber (seaweed and wood fiber). It has a nice tight twist and a lovely sheen. And if what I've read is true, it's good for your feet!
