I love buying single skeins of sock yarn (4ply/fingering weight). There are so many beautiful skeins of sock yarn from independent dyers around the world. One skein is enough for a small shawlette which makes it easy to justify an impulse purchase. However, sometimes you want a slightly bigger shawl. Between The Lines is a collection of 5 designs which all combine 2 skeins of sock yarn.
