Monica of Gothfarm Yarn, who specializes in non-Superwash, naturally-colored yarns, has collaborated with Ali of Savvy Skeins on the Q 4000 sock kit. The main color is a new custom-milled, fingering-weight yarn from Gothfarm called Oxide, which was created by blending Jacob sheep wool with cinnamon red alpaca fleece, and is only available in the kit. Accompanying the natural yarn is a hand-dyed mini skein available in your choice of three contrasting colors — orange, yellow and green — to knit the 80s Retro sock design by Belén Fernández, a classic style that perfectly shows off these fun pops of brightness.
