Islands in the Stream - Rocket Sock MT

Rocket Sock MT sock yarn is a soft and squishy yarn that is ideal for socks, shawls, and sweaters. From its durability to its washability, Rocket Sock MT is ideal. Add to that the gorgeously unique and saturated gradient color ways and you have a yarn that neither you nor your stash should be without!

Because the non-toxic dye is fixed using a completely eco-friendly process, you don't have to fear that these amazing colors will fade or bleed under normal washing conditions. Colors blend into one another easily. 

All of our Rocket Sock MT yarn is dyed by hand in very small batches of 3 to 4 hanks at a time.  Each speckled hank is hand dyed at Cedar Hill Farm and each is unique in patterning, even if multiple hanks are available in the same colorway.  

Tonal yarns are dyed in repeatable colorways. Intensity of color may vary slightly from skein to skein due to the natural uptake ability of the fiber.
