About Gradient Matching Socks Sets
Dyed-to-match gradient socks sets make perfect slow-striping socks. You choose to start from the center of the cake or the outside! If you start with the same color for each sock, you'll have maternal twins - every stitch of one sock matches the other exactly.
About this Size
Small socks - A small socks set has has 2 identical cakes that total 50g of fingering weight yarn. This is the perfect size to make knee socks for children, ankle socks for women's sizes 6-9, and great wrist warmers. If you want larger socks or longer cuffs, look for a "medium socks set" or a "large socks set". We recommend working toe-up socks whenever possible so you never stop knitting before your gradient finishes with a flourish.
About this Color
This is one of our Chromatic Gradients. These colorways are carefully designed to evoke memories of landscapes or films or poems.
*Vampire Boyfriend Chromatic Gradient* fades from a blood red to scab rust, before ending in a dramatic, deep red-black. It would look just as good defending the Hellmouth as it would standing up to the Volterra, or cracking open a bottle of O Negative in Bon Tempes. Care for a bite?

Notes
- This listing is for sock yarn only. You will not receive a completed pair of socks.
- Because of our unique dyeing process, many of our darker colors appear heathered, with small light spots sprinkled throughout. This heathering is normal.
- Care for this yarn is to hand or machine wash cold (delicate cycle), dry flat. Our yarns are colored using professional-grade acid dyes.
- We’ve made every effort to photograph the color accurately, but appearance may vary depending on your monitor settings.
