A Checklist of Birds is our 2022 fall collaboration with Andrea Rangel. Not only do the colours represent eight of our favourite birds in the Pacific Northwest, but the texture pattern for each bird is actually a chart showing how common that species is throughout the year.

You have your choice of a "multi-bird" pair of socks with the Checklist colourway, or "single-bird" socks like this colourway with a flock of eight identical birds.

The "yarn colour map" shows how the yarn is dyed for each of the options in this collection. Each horizontal bar represents a full skein of yarn. Half the skein is self-striping; the other half is the beige contrast colour for toes, heels, and cuffs.

See the full Checklist of Birds collection here.

This listing is for one skein of yarn, not the final knitted item. The coordinating sock pattern is sold separately through Andrea's website or Ravelry.

This listing is for yarn only. We do not sell knitted items.

Base Yarns

We are updating our skeins from 115 g to 100 g (and 170 g to 150 g), with a corresponding decrease in prices. While we transition, you will find both sizes of yarn in the shop.

4-Ply Sock: 75% superwash Merino, 25% nylon
100 g = 425 m (465 yd) | 150 g = 638 m (698 yd)
Our newest yarn is perfect for accessories that need to stand up to wear while being next-to-skin soft.

2-Ply Fingering: 100% superwash Merino
100 g = 339 m (370 yd) | 150 g = 509 m (556 yd)
115 g = 390 m (426 yd) | 170 g = 585 m (639 yd)
A soft yarn with beautiful drape, this is an excellent choice for shawls, scarves and other accessories.

MCN Fingering: 70% superwash Merino, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon
100 g = 322 m (352 yd) |  150 g = 477 m (520 yd)
