Out of Step Dyeworks DKyarn giveaway!


I used to say "happiness is hand knit socks on a cold day". I think I will amend it to "happiness is handknit anything made from Out of Step Dyework's MCN DK yarn especially in the Nanobot colorway" (pictured above!). This stuff is a dreamy blend of superwash merino and cashmere! And doesn't everything you want to knit require DK weight yarn?

I am lately developing and unhealthy obsession with the colors gray and purple. Looking at Out of Step Dyeworks' etsy shop this morning is not helping abate it! I love all of Amy's work, but I'm really yarn crushing on her October Phat Fiber box submissions!

We're giving away this beautiful skein of DK yarn (cashmere, people!) in the Nanobot colorway today. Please visit Out of Step Dyeworks, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner later in the week, so please facebook, twitter, blog, ravelate about this for extra entries!

  1. I love sock yarn in DK weight! "12 Bar Blues" would make great 'guy' socks.

  2. These yarns look delightfully sproingy! I really like both 12 Bar Blues and Nanobot. The Glimpses Of yarns are really interesting, but I don't know if they would knit up awesome or awkward.

  59. I am a fan of any yarn that reminds me of a dark but beautiful thunderstorm, therefore, my favorite is the Hand Dyed BFL Sock Yarn- Dusky Purple, and though I do not knit, I added the Vertebral Socks Kit- Zombie Apocalypse Yarn and Knitting Pattern in a treasury a few months back, and it was the first item to be sold from that treasury. I just loved the colors as well as the zombie theme :) !
