Hand-Painted Sock Yarn, Get Thee Into My Stash

I got ALL of these great links from ONE comment string on http://dogsstealyarn.com/. What an amazing community of knitters! I bought this beautiful yarn at http://twisted.etsy.com/ for a steal at $26, and I feel little to no shame. Sorry, Richard. It was a crime of passion.

Here's a bunch more great links. I checked out every single one. What a great "cruise" through the gelatinous, wobbly, super-saturated world of sock yarn. Ripping off a Tom Robbins quote from Still Life with Woodpecker, hand-painted sock yarn is as ruddy and indiscreet as a plastic sack full of hickeys. Porn for knitters.
