Homestead Sock is our richly grounded fingering-weight base, spun from a luxurious merino–yak blend that brings an earthy softness and natural warmth to every stitch. This yarn has a gentle, velvety touch and a beautiful depth of color thanks to the yak fiber’s naturally darker undertone — giving even lighter shades a soft, heathered richness.
Despite its softness, Homestead Sock is strong, smooth, and built for everyday wear. It’s perfect for socks that actually last, but just as lovely for shawls, baby knits, sweaters, and anything meant to be worn close to the skin. The combination of warmth, durability, and natural drape makes this one of the most comforting bases you’ll ever knit with.
Hand-dyed in small batches, Homestead Sock takes color in a uniquely warm, muted way that feels cozy, calm, and timeless — the kind of yarn you reach for when you want your knitting to feel like home.
