Can anyone point me in the direction of a good cheap supplier of undyed sock yarn as I really want to dye some myself!

Thanks!

ooh, thats useful to know, I didnt realise superwash dyed ok, I always thought the potions they treated it with made it uncertain. Will give theirs a whirl though if it works well Very Happy

Just sent you a pm but might as well post here too. I have 120 hanks of it upstairs. It's opal sock yarn and in its natural state it's a very light cream not pure white.
Postage is an issue now the rates have gone up.
It costs the same to post one as it does to post two, (the weight band is 101g to 250g) and one hank just tips into that band even with very light packaging).
I hadn't planned on selling it, but there again, why not?
It would be £4.30 per hank and P&P (for one or two) would be £1.40 first class, which is the cost of the postage and 10p for the packaging which is what it costs me. I charge more than this for P&P on ebay to cover my time as well, but I know you so it's different. Very Happy
