Bob Yarn!

Ya'll remember Bob right? Well awhile back limedragon mentioned in a comment that Bob would make lovely socks... ok well not exactly that BOB would make lovely socks , but rather his colors would be lovely socks...

Well I look around for a little while and actually found some Bob yarn!!

Angora Valley Fibers has a super wash merino sock yarn in a color way called "fire". I'd like to point out that this is the ONLY yarn I found in these color combinations and the yarn itself happens to be what is quickly becoming my favorite sock yarn... Another plus? The sock yarn comes in 8oz skeins for $25 and FREE SHIPPING on her monarch sock yarn! Can it get any better? It can! I showed the yarn to my mom, word got around, and I got it for my birthday! (Thank you, Grammie & Papa!)

Here's the yarn, for comparisons sake here's the bird too...

The bird...

The yarn...

I'm thinking black heels and/or toes - Hopefully soon I'll have some BobSocks to show!

Now I just need to find a Bob pattern...

Great sock yarn! Maybe you could do a little fair isle bird motif in black to really make them Bob socks. BTW, has Bob been hanging around at all lately?

Marisa - No sign of Bob for awhile now. He showed up at my window a week or so ago just for a few moments and then promptly flew off...

Good color match to Bob. I'm interested to see how it knits up.

Wow, that is a really good color match. Also, $25 for 8 oz of sock yarn with free shipping? *compulsively checks out yarn sales*
