Red Truck Fiber Co. Sock

Fingering weight, 80% Superwash merino / 20% nylon, 400 yards

Alan dyes from Charlottesville, VA, and every colorway he makes starts with a story. Fantasy, sci-fi, children's classics — the names tell you exactly where he's been. Fangorn. Sleepy Hollow. You're a Mean One. Mother's Blue. These aren't decorative titles. They're the books on his shelf, translated into color.

What makes his yarn worth paying attention to: Alan works from CMYK values the way a printer builds color — layering up to six separate dyes to land exactly where he wants. A colorway that looks like a simple solid might have as much complexity underneath as a multicolor skein. You're paying for precision, and it shows.

The collection includes sock, DK, and worsted weight skeins across eight colorways. Self-striping options are hand-wound from extra-long hanks, one section at a time.

Alan's color notes:

• You're a Mean One:  What's that one book you always read while growing up? I bet you I know which one. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" It's such an iconic story and a great lesson for everyone. Let's introduce "You're a Mean One"! Red Truck Fiber's first self-striping yarn!
• Gold Ring: What is the most iconic thing about the Lord of the Rings? The Ring of course!
• Based on Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
  • Mother's Blue: Her sickness was the last straw. Seeing her mother sick and unable to provide food or medicine for her drove Miryem to become the moneylender of the family. And it was her mother's kindness that brought Wanda and her brothers further into the family.
  • Wanda Blue: A constant help. Wanda is hired by Miryem to help work off her father's debt to Miryem. But, as time goes by, she and her brothers become a part of Miryem's family.
  • Miryem Blue:"I can spin silver into gold." That declaration set off a series of events she could not control.Does she fulfill the challenges the Staryk King sets before her?
• Sleepy Hollow: This yarn is your invitation to immerse yourself in the world of "Sleepy Hollow" and bring its magic to your crafting projects. Whether you're knitting a bewitching Halloween costume, crocheting seasonal home decor, or weaving the essence of autumn into your accessories, our "Sleepy Hollow" yarn will make every project extraordinary.

His yarn is only here for a limited time. Shop in store or online

To be eligible for an exchange, there must be proof of purchase, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging and in re-saleable condition when Fuzzy Goat receives it. Shop credit will be for the items purchased and not inclusive of shipping.

We don’t have free shipping thresholds, though there are certain times of the year will do a promo for free shipping. As a small indie shop, we price shipping as close to actual cost as possible so we can continue supporting indie dyers, paying designers fairly, and offering personal help in-store and online. It’s one of the ways we keep Fuzzy Goat sustainable and able to serve our community long-term. We truly appreciate your support.

We make every effort to reuse boxes, bubble wrap, and other stuffing for shipping whenever possible. We do focus on our foot-print and where our lovely vendors are located. We are constantly on the hunt for more eco-friendly, cost-efficient options that also keep your precious yarn safe and dry.
