Flash your sock yarn stash. (Pic intensive).

I'm a sucker for stuff like this, "flash your sock yarn stash"-- originated @ knittyboard. You know you wanna play too!! :)

Pic intensive!!

I originally guessed I had about 30 pr. worth of socks in yarn, but its more like... 75 pair. I am embarrassed to show yall this, but we're all friends, right? :)

Apologizes in advance for some not-so-clear photos, my little bumblebee was having too much fun trying to play with the yarn and kept bumping into me as he "rearranged" it over & over. There are better pics of each individual skein somewhere on this blog (they've all been taken before, I'm pretty sure.)

On with it then.

My favorite that I have never seen is the Diakeito Fine. Pretty!

HPNY KNITS said...

Wait a minute - do you hear that? It's a drip, drip sound, like a dripping tap. That's my drool hitting the chair!

No, not crazy, just well stocked. I'd pull mine out for a photo shoot but the Husband is around this week and he has no idea. It's the ultimate hide in plain sight with the sock stash bin in the family room.

BTW, thanks for the preview on what to expect my stained glass tiny toes to look like! :)

And that's not bad. That's good! It's not like you're hoarding crystal meth. It's SOCK YARN. Wonderful, delicious sock yarn.

DROOLS! WOW!! Gorgeous colours!! Flash well done!!
I had friends over last weekend and we sat in "my room" and out of the blue one asked "is there YARN in ALL those boxes?" I said: "technically no, because some only has washed fleece in it...". Some people just don't understand!
