Holiday Yarns & the 2025 Inaugural Sock Box

Another Holiday treat is coming :) Introducing the first of our annual 6-month sock boxes… and this year the theme is…. bugs!

Each box will have six sets of sock twins, in Killarney. The colours are based off the bright jewels of nature, the bugs so lovely we cannot believe they are real. I had the opportunity to visit the Insectorium in Montreal and that trip inspired these colours.

I’m not planning to individually wrap these, but I can upon request. My idea is for you to open the box and be delighted by the presentation of jewel toned beauties!

Large skein sizes of each colour can be available after all the boxes have arrived :) I know some of these colours are gonna be great in Beast Mode!

Please note that the inspirations below are my starting point but I may change the colours if the mood hits me :) I did take many more photos than are shown here.

There are two new colours up there that you can make a deicision to pre order, but at the moment I don't have a sample of what the actual yarn looks like ;)

Here are their stories:

Silver and Gold is a combo requested by one of our customers. The nearest approximation I can show you are the Silver and Gold tonals that we dyed a few years ago. I will likely sample this up in the next day or two. I highly recommend shiny bases for this one; Manitoulin, Huron and Point Pelee. Killarney and Rideau are matte bases by comparison, and may not carry the effect as well.

Mom’s Christmas 2024 is a new idea. Every year mom chooses different colours for her tree. This year she’s going with Royal Blue, Turquoise, Warm Chocolate and Gold. Will you get to see what it looks like? Yes :) When it arrives, or on Christmas Eve when I’ll do the big reveal. Every year it will change. Every year it will be based on her holiday palette. This colour will carry our joy as we plan for our own holidays, and our wishes for the joy for others.

Is that a little hokey? Maybe! I’m ok with it, what are the holidays for if not big feels? And folks, after a few years of health problems and exhausting moves and near misses in emergency rooms… I have got ALL the big feels when it comes to my mom.
