click for sock blanks

Sock blanks are designed for dyeing self striping and gradient yarns. The majority of our sock blanks are single stranded and can only be unravelled from one end, so they would work best for shawls, but if you’re looking to dye yarns suitable for knitting two matching self striping socks, try 49170A, our double stranded sock blank.
