SockaDoodleDoo http://www.sockadoodledoo.com Specially crafted hand spun yarns, fibers & creations to inspire you to do something extraordinary! Custom spinning is welcome.

Passionately supporting local agriculture & economies by sourcing most materials direct from the farm & as close to home as possible. My yarns are perfect for knitter, crocheters, doll makers & other fiber artisans. As a fiber artist, I am crazy about natural fibers - all of them! Much time is spent sorting, washing, combing, carding, dyeing & spinning fiber by hand to create unique yarns for your

creations. I try to source most of my raw materials are sourced direct from the producer/farmer. For wool, I usually buy whole fleeces, freshly shorn, from happy, healthy sheep. I use earth friendly methods to wash it thoroughly. Then, I prepare it carefully for spinning into yarn to share with you. Sometimes I dye the fiber before I spin and sometimes after. It just depends on the fiber & my mood. :-)

I also love to work with silk. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to buy direct from a family silk farm...Yep, workin' on it...

I hand dye much of the fibers with pro dyes along with natural dyes found in nature. Also, you'll see wool in beautiful, naturally colored fleeces, such as rich chocolate browns, steely cool greys, along with the beautiful with the yummy french vanilla creams. Whatever natural colored wools I can get my hands on, you'll see here, which includes as many of the black sheep as possible. See something that's not quite what you're looking for? If you have something in mind, shoot me a message & let's chat.

Clearing out a lot of my handspun! I'm spending much more time creating little pixies, elves & other dolls, rather than stocking handspun yarns. These little pretties have been sitting, waiting for me to re-list into my new shop...So, instead, I decided to offer them here at huge discounts, during Spam-A-Lot, just for you! My youngest daughter helped me sort these yarns…and ended up keeping a skein for herself. LOL To purchase, just comment SOLD under yarn picture. All prices include US shipping. If you're not in the US, pm me & I'll figure shipping for you. :-) Send payment, with name of yarn in the note section, via paypal to [email protected]. I'll ship your yarn out to you on Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday. Can't wait to see what you create with these yarns. So, I hope you’ll come back & share come pics with me. ♥♥♥

Hi ya'll!

For those of you who follow my doll making, I thought you might want to check out my new page devoted just my dolls... :-) To make things a bit easier, it just makes sense to separate my 2 loves out. :-)

All my handspun yarns & knitting info will be remain here...I have some knitting patterns I want to share with you later this fall. I'll get them ready as fast I can, because they would make great gifts for some littles in your life. So, watch for that coming soon. :-)

Hope you're having a great weekend. The weather here cooled off so much & the day was absolutely beautiful, it was a crime to stay inside...i did anyway though, as I had a lot of work to do. boo

I'm so excited to share some customer pics with you!! Vicki used SockaDoodle's Purely Natural Chocolate Merino yarn for her doll's hair. She's a new doll maker (like me!) and this is her first doll. She used a kit from Dragon Fly Hollow, which helped make creating the body a bit easier for the first time. The embroidery that created her sweet little face, clothing & hair was all done Vicki. She's just beautiful! I'm so happy to be a small part of this beautiful doll. :-) Thank you, Vicki!

In the midst of dyeing & spinning wool, have also been dolly making. Here's Emmaline. I made her in a dolly swap for a special little girl in PA. :-) I had so much fun. While I've made a few small dolls & lots of parts, Emmaline is my first completed doll. She stuffed with wool and has thick, cotton skin. I dyed wool & mohair a dark auburn & a bright pink, then designed hand spun yarn esp. for her long, big tresses. Also included is a small cupcake purse with a bitty bear, sister to my Lil' Sweet Pea. I've heard Emmaline is happy in her new home & hope to get pics soon. :-)
