Tardis sock bundle
My daughter (the older one, most definitely not the younger one!) is a Doctor Who fanatic. When she found this free Tardis Sock pattern on Ravelry she asked if I could dye her some wool so she could knit them. I duly obliged and the Tardis sock bundle was born.
I can’t find a Birmingham connection to Doctor Who, but the colours are named in honour of two Brummie bands and the undyed sheep’s coat is named after Sheepcote Street.

This sock bundle contains:
One 100g skein of 100% Bluefaced Leicester 4 ply / sock yarn (approx 350m) in Moody Blue

Our non superwash yarn is spun in Yorkshire from British fleece and hand dyed in small batches in Birmingham. Whilst colour consistency between batches is good, due to the dyeing process no two skeins will be identical and there may be slight colour variations between batches. It is therefore recommended that you buy enough yarn from the same batch to complete your projects and that you alternate skeins every other row.
Once you have completed your garment, it is recommended that you handwash your finished item in lukewarm water with your wool wash of choice and lay your washed garment flat to dry. Although the yarn is thoroughly rinsed after dyeing, some slight colour bleed may occur at first wash.
I photograph my yarn in natural daylight, however colour variations can occur between monitors.
