Bisous, fibre fans! One of our favorite hand-dyed yarns for holiday projects is back in space from Quebec, Canada’s own Biscotte Yarns–that’s right, it’s Bis-Sock!
This soft and sturdy machine-washable yarn is spun from next-to-skin-soft Merino wool with a dash of nylon added for durability, making it superb for socks, baby sweaters, and snuggly accessories. But that’s not all–just wait until you see Bis-Sock’s amazing self-striping colorways and big, bouncy 100-gram skeins!
