This year, we’re cuddling up with our furry friends.

Our June KAL project is a brand-new sock design from Andrea Rangel with a colourful self-patterning leg, a mischievous cat or enthusiastic dog face on top of the foot, and the cutest little paw prints on the sole.

This year’s kit comes in your choice of three colourways, all dyed on our soft and sturdy 4-Ply Sock base.

The kit includes:

One 100g skein of self-striping yarn (75% superwash Merino wool, 25% nylon). The one skein has all the yarn you need - two matching halves (one for each sock), plus a solid contrast colour. You'll separate them when you wind the yarn.
A PDF sock pattern by Andrea Rangel that includes charts for both cats and dogs (delivered via email in mid-May).
Access to our June Knit-Along, starting June 1.

No extra steps—when you sign up, you’re in the club. Join the KAL in our Ravelry forum, share your progress, ask questions, and knit alongside a community of clever, creative makers.

The sock pattern is suitable for an intermediate, or adventurous beginner knitter. Techniques include a short-row heel and stranded colourwork.

It is written for three sizes, with finished foot circumferences of 19.0 cm, 21.5 cm, and 24.0 cm (7.5", 8.5", and 9.5").

Striping Patterns

Round Trip "There and back" with two matching halves—perfect for projects like socks. One 100 g skein of fingering weight is enough for an average-size pair of women's socks. For longer or wider socks, choose the 150 g size.

One-Way Trip A long, non-repeating color sequence, great for hats, cowls, or scarves. For a Musselburgh Hat, 100 g of Trifecta or MCN is enough for a size L hat but you will need 150 g if you'd like a wide, folded brim. 4-Ply has more yardage so 100 g is enough to make a folded brim.

Shawl Yarn Specially dyed for top-down triangular shawls. Each stripe is the same width from beginning to end, with no ends to weave in. 100 g of fingering weight is enough for a small shawlette. 150 g gives a more generous size. If you want to maximize your yardage, choose our 4-Ply sock yarn.

Sweater Yarn Designed for garments like baby sweaters. The stripes appear only on the yoke, and the rest is a coordinating solid color—no switching yarns or breaking the flow.

Base Yarns

All our yarn is spun at a Canadian mill. Our Merino wool is sourced from from farms in New Zealand and mulesing is not performed on the sheep.

Trifecta Fingering: 80% superwash Merino, 20% nylon
100 g = 339 m (370 yd) | 150 g = 507 m (555 yd)

4-Ply Sock: 75% superwash Merino, 25% nylon
100 g = 425 m (465 yd) | 150 g = 638 m (698 yd)

2-Ply Fingering: 100% superwash Merino
100 g = 339 m (370 yd) | 150 g = 507 m (555 yd)

MCN Fingering: 70% superwash Merino, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon
100 g = 339 m (370 yd) | 150 g = 507 m (555 yd)

Please note that these yardages were updated in October 2025. The yarn did not change, but there was a mistake in earlier listings/ballbands that showed the yardage as less than it really is.
