The yarnstory:
When Ross Taylor of Twisted Ambitions Yarn asked if we wanted to add minis to our selection of his featured yarns, the answer was a resounding yessss! And we were blown away with the colors he presented to us. Perfect for all those stranded projects and accent stripes, you know you need these added to your stash!
The yarn:
A perfect blend of merino and nylon dyed in amazing colorways with the same 4-ply base as Sweet Sock, these minis will work perfectly with the projects we've curated for you below.

"Color Craze Cowl" by Tamy Gore @tamygore
Tamy says "With brioche, slip stitches and a bit of color play thrown in for good measure, this cowl kept me on my toes and was an absolute joy to knit up!" We couldn't have said it better!

"Hip N' Slip Hat" by Ross Taylor @twisted.ambitions.yarn
This fun and fashion-forward hat knits up quickly holding two strands of fingering yarn or one strand of DK yarn on size US 6 & 7 (4-4.5mm) needles. The color choice possibilities are nearly endless if you choose to marl your colors as Ross did in his sample.
If you want to play with color as Ross did, you'll need 1 skein of Sweet Sock and 3 minis to knit your hat. If you want to knit a solid hat holding two strands of fingering, you'll need one skein of Sweet Sock. Or, if you want to go the DK route, you'll need one skein of Wicked DK. The pattern is available for purchase on Ravelry.
