I spied this beautiful peach sock yarn on Global Backyard’s Instagram feed and knew I had to have it! I’m experimenting with a “pattern” in my head that is similar to the long-lost Vanilla Latte pattern (which I have written about extensively in other posts), but this project incorporates all the changes I always make to the original pattern and a few new ideas. I’ll write it down for you if it works out. Wish me luck!

Project Details
Pattern: I’m freestylin’ it!
Yarn: Global Backyard’s Extrafine Merino Sock Yarn in Peach Orchard
Supplies & Items in my Photos
- US Size 1.5 (2.5mm) 5” wood DPNs (I’m using the pretty green ones from Knit Picks’ Caspian collection)
- The sassy stickers in the first photo are also by Global Backyard (the yarn shop where squishy mail meets sticky mail!) <– hot tip! Global Backyard offers free domestic shipping for orders of $35+, and stickers make a great addition to your cart!
- Wood Sock Blockers by MlynJedrow (Honeycomb & Bee, Daisy and All-Over Floral Cutout; my heart blockers are from another maker who has since closed shop, but MlynJedrow makes heart sock blockers too.) I had my bee blockers custom-stained, cuz I’m a little extra. I love how they turned out!
Notes & Such
- [5/25/26] Fin! I’ll post the pattern notes on the blog when I can!
- Last year I had a chance to interview Gina, the fiber artist who dyed this yarn. Here is a link to that post if you are curious about the process!
