Stash Enhancement

five skeins of new sock yarn

When I took my shawl into the local yarn shop for blocking, I discovered a "new to me sock yarn" and fell in love with the rich colors and the reasonable price. 

Queensland Perth sock yarn 
100 gr ball - 437 yards

I purchased Great Barrier Reef (122), Redcliffe City (119), Gold Coast (114), Port Pirie (120), and Alpine Shire (117). Each ball was $13.50 which I thought was very reasonable for the yardage and a super wash wool with nylon. I haven't cast on a project yet, but at least one of these balls will become a pair of socks. 

Have you tried Queensland Perth sock yarn?

  1. Oooh those look wonderful. Are they soft? I’m planning on starting a new pair after I finish hand quilting an old quilt. But I’ve grabbed a ball from my collection.

  2. Beautiful yarn Nancy! I've never heard of that brand, but $13.50 per skein sounds like a steal to me. I'm looking forward to seeing how it knits up.

  3. I haven't heard of this year, but it sure looks gorgeous! It also looks like it might be a bit itchy, better for socks than a shawl.

  6. I have never heard of that brand but it's really pretty yarn and the price is fantastic! I was trying to decide which one was my favorite color and I kept changing my mind. That's why I have such a hard time buying nice yarn. :-)

  8. Nancy, I have not. However, I am a huge fan of Queenslands yarns. I've enjoyed working with them for summer tops. Wonderful stash for you!! I applaud the decision!
