DIY Kit - Nordic Night Socks
These socks are worked in the round from the cuff to the toe. When changing colors for stripes, do not cut yarn; carry color not in use loosely up inside of sock. The instructions are written for working with double-pointed needles; use circular needles if you prefer working the Magic Loop method. Place markers to indicate the end of each needle in the instructions. If you want to add length to the foot, work additional rounds in C1 before working Round 1 of the Foot.
Dream is our new name for Merino Worsted yarn. Though the name is different and we have a new palette of color offerings, nothing else about Dream has changed: it is the same yarn you know and love!

Nordic Socks are charming socks knit in two colors of 100% merino wool Dream yarn, featuring stranded colorwork and Nordic-inspired motifs. The socks are knit in the round (using either double-pointed needles or circular needles with the Magic Loop method) starting with the cuff and leg, then turning the heel, and knitting the foot.
Fiber Content Note: Dream TWEED colors Flamingo, Blue Lagoon, Blacksmith and Stardust have different fiber content: 82% merino, 13% wool, 5% viscose.
Care: Dry clean or hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. Note that exposing wool to heat (hot water) or agitation (machine washing) will cause it to felt.
