Contrast Blast Socks: Surprise Sock Along KAL Sock Set Duo, White Lynx + Pewter Aussie Extra Fine Sock with Nylon Sock Set + 3 Stitch Markers

We have delightful sock set duos, coordinated both in color and contrast, chosen for Westknits upcoming surprise sock KAL. Wendy is knitting them on circular Chiagoo needles, 2 at a time, which allows her to progress together so she will have a finished pair at the end of the week's final clue. 

We've adjusted our second picture to monochrome so you can gauge the contrast.

Shipping to US is just $5 flat rate, so make sure you have all you need for the project, including needles and notions. Your sock set will will be festively wrapped and includes a few very small treats from Amanda Hope Yarn. 

Contrast Blast Sock Set:

⚜️Two 100 gram skeins of Aussie Extra Fine Sock with Nylon (a squishy, but versatile fingering weight yarn)

⚜️3 stitch markers
