I'm running late, but managed to take some photos of some Fleece Artist sock yarn I have. I actually also took pics of my Cosmic Dawn colorway that I'm not posting, because I think Katydid Knits sort of wins on that. Check her pics out!
I wish I could tell you what colorway these pictures are of, but you know, they're not labelled ... it is Fleece Artist though!
I promise, soon I'll do a nice compare/contrast of all these sock yarns I have. Of course, I'll have to talk to Cookie about the durability of this one -- haven't knit this stuff yet either!
A compare would be great - line them all up and spill the knowledge! :) there are so many out there now it's hard to keep track! that color is amazing - does yours have the darker colors as well?
Posted by: stacey at February 2, 2007 9:18 AMooh, that's so pretty! I love Fleece Artist. It's amazing.
Posted by: Emma at February 2, 2007 9:34 AMVery nice, whatever color it is. I'm looking forward to the compare/contrast of sock yarns!
Posted by: Shannon at February 2, 2007 9:44 AMAh!! I think everyone posting Fleece Artist is a conspiracy to get me to buy some!! Their colorways are amazing!
Posted by: jupiterjessica at February 2, 2007 9:45 AMThat is a great color -- it makes me look forward to berry season. It will be interesting to see how that bit of umbery-gold runs through it when knit.
Posted by: Sarah at February 2, 2007 10:24 AMLove that red! Looking forward also to the comparison!
Posted by: Zonda at February 2, 2007 11:52 AMI love that colour combination - hot pink and orange are just the colour of summer sunsets!
Posted by: AmyP at February 3, 2007 4:44 AMI LOVED knitting with Fleece Artist. I can't comment on durability tho'--I wore them once and my cat stole one of my socks. I still can't find it.

Posted by: phoenixanew at February 3, 2007 8:27 PMGorgeous yarn. I love Fleece Artist stuff. I have some of the new Sea Wool on order and am very excited.
I have only worked Mokey toe-up and it worked great for me. Can't seem to make myself do and cuff-downs these days.

Posted by: Deb at February 4, 2007 6:50 PMGorgeous yarn. I think that color is Sangria. I love FA yarn, and I have found that it holds up very well. I haven't had it felt, but it does get thicker when washed repeatedly in the machine (but stays stretchy). I knit it on size 2 needles at about 6.5 spi for a good sock fabric that washes well.
Looking forward to seeing what you knit with this!

That's a gorgeous shade, though - that deep pink is beautiful!
