1 skein of Peace, Love + Lobster. When it's gone, it's gone.
A two-piece set from Crazy Dog Yarns: a full skein of the multi-colour *Peace, love + lobster* (Lot 1) on Louet GEMS superwash merino, plus a matched solid-yellow mini that pulls the gold note out as a built-in contrast colour. The main skein is a brilliant rainbow speckle/strip — fuschia, turquoise, magenta, lime, lobster-red, gold, and indigo flashing along the strand — and the yellow mini is ready to be the cuff, toe, heel, or contrast stripe for whichever project the main skein lands in.
This listing is for 1 skein of Crazy Dog Yarns Louet GEMS Sock in color Peace, Love + Lobster.
About the yarn:
Louet GEMS is a workhorse superwash merino sock base — 100% extrafine merino, 4-plied round and smooth, machine-washable, with the springy bounce that makes a sock survive a winter. Crazy Dog has hand-dyed it in a high-saturation rainbow variegated and paired it with a colour-matched solid-yellow mini-skein in the same base. Total package is roughly 420 yards across the main skein at 113 g, plus the matched mini — a comfortable pair of fingering socks with built-in contrast yarn for cuffs, heels, and toes, or any fingering project where you want a saturated rainbow with a tied-in solid contrast colour already pulled for you.

About Crazy Dog Yarns Louet GEMS Sock:
Crazy Dog Yarns is an active Etsy-based hand-dyer (crazydogyarns.etsy.com), specialising in saturated, high-energy variegated colourways on tested commercial sock bases. The studio favours Louet GEMS — a Dutch-milled superwash merino base — for its sock yarns, which gives the colour a smooth round canvas to land on while keeping the finished fabric machine-washable.
This particular set is from Batch 1 of the *Peace, love + lobster* colourway, sold by Crazy Dog with a matched solid-yellow mini-skein already paired in. The bands are hand-written in the studio's distinctive style. Both skeins arrived in original twist.
