We will be continuing to celebrate our feathered friends in 2026, with the release of sock sets inspired by different chicken breeds.
On the first day of every month we'll be releasing a new Flock & Feather 'Yarn of the Month' sock set, which will be available only during the respective month.
The Rhode Island Red is an American breed, which is also the state bird of Rhode Island. It was developed there and in Massachusetts in the late nineteenth century, by cross-breeding birds of Oriental origin such as the Malay with brown Leghorn birds from Italy. It was a dual-purpose breed, raised both for meat and for eggs; modern strains have been bred for their egg-laying abilities.
Designed specifically for sock knitters, our Flock & Feather sock sets will feature one 100g skein of sock yarn and two contrasting 20g minis!
This listing will close on 28th February 2026 or when yarns sell out.
Flock & Feather sock sets are dyed to order will ship in the last week of the month.
Yarn Options - choose from the following options:
You can find more detailed information about our yarn bases here.
Hand-dyed in small batches in Tasmania.
The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.
We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.
Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.
This yarn comes in a skein, it will need to be wound into a cake before knitting. You can do that yourself or have it done by us using our Cake Your Yarn service.
Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways.
It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.
Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.
We recommend blocking and drying garments flat and not tumble drying.
