Customers shipping to outside the USA, though, won&#8217;t qualify for free shipping &#8212; instead, you&#8217;ll have to accept a free surprise gift. And for February only, if you buy an entire batch, you will also receive a free surprise gift.<\/p>\n<p>I think these two are my faves from this run:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/abbysyarns.com\/albums\/fiber-sockblends\/crownjewels02.thumb.jpg?h=103\" alt=\"Crown Jewels\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/abbysyarns.com\/albums\/fiber-sockblends\/heartbreaker01.thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Heartbreaker\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I really don&#8217;t feel like watching that second one hit the road, but fair&#8217;s fair! I&#8217;ll just have to do it again for myself&#8230; after my next dye day when I&#8217;ll have to do some more blue silk. <\/p>\n<p>I can tell you I&#8217;ve put yarn spun from these sock batts through my CSM (circular sock machine) and they&#8217;ve worked up beautifully, and stood up to machine washing. I&#8217;ve hand-knit them in the past, and crocheted with them, and used the resulting yarns in kid clothes! Yes, kid clothes for a third grade boy. Sock batts are delightful to spin in super-laceweight with a spindle, as well as in various ways on a wheel. You need 2-4 for a pair of socks, depending on how you spin, your pattern, and the size of the socks; 2 batts will get you a terrific hat or scarf or a pair of mittens. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stores.ebay.com\/Franquemont-Fibers\/\">Franquemont Fibers eBay Store<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally!
