One Sock Taster Kit - Striped

Description

With The Fibre Co.'s One Sock Striped Taster Kit, your customers can make one or two* pairs of socks featuring a stripe pattern using our popular Amble yarn. This kit includes the versatile One Sock pattern, designed by Kate Atherley, which offers 11 sizes from child to large adult, ensuring a reliable fit for all feet. The pattern includes a Guidebook and a One Sock Baby pattern—ideal resources for sock knitting beginners and seasoned knitters alike, complete with practical tips for achieving perfectly fitting, hand-knit socks.

Additionally, an accompanying video series walks you through every step of the pattern, making One Sock a fantastic project for first-time sock knitters.

Amble is a specially designed sock yarn, thoughtfully crafted by combining eco-friendly, washable wool and alpaca with recycled nylon for strength and durability. This yarn stands out as the perfect choice for projects like One Sock, where softness and strength are desired.

Why stock taster kits?

Taster kits are a great way to try out yarns that you may not already carry, and a small yet perfectly formed project – they are great for beginners and gifting. Not only that, we have specifically designed each part to be as convenient as possible for stockists:

• The pattern card is portable for knitters on-the-go and with minimal printing it is good for the planet.
• The yarn comes in the right quantity for the pattern. 
• The project bag replaces single-use packaging with something useful that knitters will love, and holds the project securely with plenty of room.
• And finally, the hang tag attaches to the project bag so the kit displays well in your store!

Each kit contains:

• One Sock Pattern Card
• 2 hanks of Amble
  
• Drawstring Yarn Bag

Note: This kit does not include hang tags, but they are available for free here.
