Combination: Flamingo Yarn Kit

Beach knitting! 

*Patterns sold separately - they are available on Ravelry, and on Etsy. (Your pattern purchase includes both sock patterns.) 
.
We just couldn't resist making up yarn kits for@stoneknits latest sock pattern. The pattern is calledWhy are Flamingos Pink Sock set, and it includes two fun, tropical themed colourwork sock patterns for you to knit while dreaming of Summer vacations.

We've created two kits in our signature sock yarn, Socknado. There is a yarn only kit for each pattern - you can choose either Flamingos or Shrimps. 

If you want some fun flamingos on your socks, the Flamingos Yarn Kit is the one for you! It includes 1 full skein of The Briny Seas, and 2 x 20g minis in Coral Reef, plus a wee bit of yarn to duplicate stitch the eyes and beak.

If you think shrimp are tasty, then the Shrimply the Best Yarn Kit should be on your knitting menu! It includes 1 full skein of Coral Reef, 2 x 20g minis of Beach Pebbles, and 1 x 20g mini of Champagne, plus a wee bit of yarn to duplicate stitch the eyes.

In Stock Yarns:  We will pick and ship your in-stock yarn as soon as possible, within a few business days. Please note that if your order also includes dyed-to-order yarns you will need to allow up to 1 - 2 weeks for us to dye and ship your yarn.

Working with Hand Dyed Yarn:While we strive for consistency, due to the hand dye process variations may exist between (and with some colourways within) dye lots. Therefore it is important to order sufficient yarn for your project, and if a uniform result is preferred we suggest alternating skeins. We hope that you will value and appreciate the beautiful and unique creations of the hand dye process and are always happy to assist you in working with hand dyed yarns!
