(say "fiddle bits")

Starting Over!

20DEC11 - the ordering options for the colorways below have been removed until further notice. 

Currently you can select between the Phydlbitz sock yarn or the my newest lace weight (temporarily called Prime Lace).

NOTE: Pictures are representative only. Your yarns are not dyed until you order them. depending on yarn availability and the dye schedule it can be approximately 14-21 days. Yarns are dyed using my standardized recipes, but each is an individual creation and so some variations will occur. If you order two or more of the same colorway at the same time, they will be dyed together to help ensure a good match.

Pale-pale splatter mix of the turquoise and salmon used in Retro Bold, reminds me of the melamine dishes and 'greasy-spoon' diners of my youth.

Socks-Storms (28K)

The colors of the sky just before a huge storm breaks loose! Similar to "Thunderstorm", below, but deeper more saturated colors.


Drawing together the many colors of a looming thunderstorm -- the layered clouds, dark and colorful in their own mysterious way.


Inspired by this picture of Glacier Lake


(shown on Dura-Lace)

Layers and layers of Mandarin orange adds an interesting depth of color



Part of the Fade collection.


Sensatorium is a "dump-dye" of the blackened-blue, blackened-purple and black from "After Hours"

Luscious is a "dump-dye" of the blackened-red, blackened-purple and black from "After Hours"

Darkly-black in the middle, fading to darkly purple, with dark red and dark blue tips at either end of the hank.

A surprisingly dark green

A dusty rose wash, lightly overlaid with grays and blacks


(shown on Fingering)
Looks like mechanic's worn overalls, smeared with dirty grease stains.

A lighter version of Watermelon

Like the fruity Italian Ices, this is a lightly colored yarn, perfect for your Springtime wardrobe!

A Fade of silver grays


A Turquoise Fade with a tip of Navy.

Like a leather-bound journal (but less expensive!), the prefect gift for your perfect Grad or Dad

Supreme Dark Roast -- any darker brown and it would be black!

The rocky-pebbley beaches along a river

Same shades of black and grey as the Glacier Lake and Lake Berry, just without the blues and/or reds. :-)

Luscious and yummy, like a chilled summer watermelon.


Custom Dyes and Alterations

Truly Custom: Same price as regular socks. All I need is a clear digital picture of what you want. But please, don't send a picture of the forest and ask for yarn like the flower at the base of the third tree from the left -- just send me the picture of the flower! Or the blue of your grandchild's eyes. Or whatever else tickles your fancy! Custom orders are prepaid, same as all orders above.

Modifications: OR, you can request one of my regular colorways to have a "little less of this, a little more of that" -- I don't normally dye until an order is placed, so if you almost like something but not quite, it is possible to play and manipulate color before it hits the yarn!

All you have to do is ASK! :-)
