"Chocolate Cream" Merino Wool Sock yarn in fingering weight - brown and vanilla variegated

The colors of our hand-dyed "Chocolate Cream" 85/15 yarn make us think about chocolate brownies with French vanilla ice cream drizzled with a decadent salted caramel sauce. We dye this sock yarn a creamy vanilla color, sprinkle it with caramelly speckles, and then dip about a third of it in a rich chocolate bath. It plays nicely with a number of our other colorways and could be part of a lovely fade project.

This dyeing technique makes assigned pooling projects easy or it will knit or crochet up normally with pretty little hits of color throughout. 

Patterns We Love:

• Soho Orchid -- free assigned pooling knitting pattern by Zuzana
• Pop Shawl -- assigned pooling knitting pattern by Dawn Barker
• Crescent Puff -- assigned pooling crochet pattern by Knitting Fairy Godmother
• Sock Arms -- a non-assigned pooling knitting pattern works wonderfully with this yarn, too, and Robin's Nest would be perfect as the sleeves in this pattern (it will look like organic stripes when knitting it up...pair with our Fall Forest as the body color for a chic look). Pattern by Stephanie Lotven.

Need to understand what assigned pooling is? "How to Crochet in the "Assigned Pooling method" by J Hook Crochet provides a great explanation to both crocheters and knitters alike.
