Erin started Lily & Pine Fibre Arts out of her kitchen in Calgary, Alberta in 2017. When she couldn’t find the exact colour she was looking for in a spinning project, she began scouring the internet for classes and instructions on dying fibre, purchasing the raw materials anywhere she could track them down. Soon her experiments with dyes and fibre took over their main floor!
Eventually, their basement was turned into a full dye studio, and Lily & Pine Fibre Arts was born! With the help of her husband Brad on the technical and financial side, Erin now dyes full time in her basement studio, focusing on creating unique and complex colours for spinning fibre and yarn. She is passionate about creating colours ways that will hopefully inspire other makers, so that they too can craft projects that will be unique and meaningful for them!
Day Lily Sock is a sturdy 3 ply fingering weight yarn, perfect for socks, yet soft enough for next to skin garments. It has a nice tight twist, and wears extremely well!
This sock set contains one full sized skein and a contrasting mini skein hand dyed in a complimentary colour. These sock sets are perfect for creating a one of a kind sock, by using the contrasting mini to accent your cuff, heel, or toe, or add stripes to your socks!

*Each skein of hand-dyed yarn is a unique item. As such, the yarn you receive can differ somewhat from batch to batch, and from this picture. While we do our best to represent here the colourways of each dyer, it is possible that the yarn you receive may not look exactly like the one seen here.
While no dye lot is available, they are usually dyed in batches and we do our utmost to ensure each skein of the same colourway and your order matches as well as possible. Always buy enough yarn for your project. If we cannot guarantee a good match between skeins, we will contact you before shipment to make arrangements.
