| Welcome!
Welcome to Hanks Yarn and Fiber, your online source for hand-dyed yarns and fibers for every enthusiast. We strive to give you the same sense of community with our online service that we did with our bricks-and-mortar shop. In addition to Kromski wheels and spinning supplies, we are still offering our brand of hand-dyed yarn, Perhaps Today is a Good Day to Dye (in fact we've branched out from sock and lace yarns into sport and worsted as well), and our Sock Bones sock blockers and our hand-made luxurious soaps -- in addition to many other things coming in the next few months. Please take your shoes off, sit back, and browse around our site. We're glad you're here!
Are you local, and looking for us in person? There's an open SnB on Sundays from 2-4:30 at the Books-a-Million on NW 13th Street (all ages, abilities, and crafts welcome); and for the spinners (both wheels and drop spindles) we meet on the third Thursday of the month at Wild Iris Books on West University Avenue from 5-7 PM.
We offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $50!

Yarn: Malabrigo Sock in "Ravelry Red"
Needles: US 1
Pattern: Zanzibar by Cookie A.
This pattern was crazy easier than it looked; however, if I were to do it again I would make the top a bit longer and throw in some extra ribbing that would decrease into nothing before turning the heel.

If you’re in the sock club and if it’s being mailed to you, start looking in your box by early next week.
If you’re in the sock club and usually pick up, I have a couple of options for pick-up.
- I will be at the Stitch ‘n’ Bitch at Books-a-Million on NW 13th Street this Sunday, August 15th, from 2-4:30.
- I will be at Wild Iris Books on University Avenue for Third Thursday Night Spinners a week from tomorrow, August 19th, from 5-7 PM.
- If neither one of those times/locations are good for you, please drop me a line with your address and I will happily put it in the mail for you.
And stay tuned for information next week on the next upcoming sock - AND LACE - clubs!
