How to choose your sock yarn
Not all yarns are made equal, and there are some specific characteristics to consider when choosing yarn for sock knitting. Some of it is practical and some of it is a lot more fun. But one thing is for sure - whether you are in to stripes or solids, hand dyed or machine finished - there's a sock yarn out there for you!

You will receive a unique coupon code for use in our online shop after you purchase your follow along ticket.
This code can be redeemed at checkout, either in store or online. You code will be valid for 6 months, and it must be used in one single transaction.
In the lesson above we go through how to choose the right yarn for your project and how to make sure you have enough for your socks too, of course.
Generally speaking you can reuse the yarn from your swatches in your project (even though the yarn has already been blocked). It shouldn't make a very noticeable difference in your finished project.
If you'd prefer to have some "insurance" yarn then ordering extra might be no harm at all. You can always add this yarn in as contrast toes and heels in future pairs of socks.
This will depend on which pattern you are following, but we have created a handy chart in your FAL Guide Book to break down the average size needles used with different thicknesses of yarn.
Simply pop your query in the chat box at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
A member of the TIK Team will get back to you within one working day.
