1 skein of Otter — warm taupe-brown semi-solid. When it's gone, it's gone.
A single skein of Tippy Tree Yarns “Dreamy 4-ply” in Otter — a warm taupe-brown semi-solid that shifts between cocoa and walnut as it pools across the skein. The base is the studio's signature alpaca-blend sock: 60% superwash merino, 20% alpaca, 20% nylon, four-ply construction at 437 yards on 100 g. The alpaca gives it the softer drape and quiet halo you don't get from a straight merino-nylon sock; the nylon keeps it heel-tough.
This listing is for the single skein pictured, new with band, 100 g / 437 yd / fingering, hand-wash cool.

About the maker. Tippy Tree Yarns is the Colorado- based indie studio of dyer Adrienne — small-batch, hand-dyed yarns inspired by mountain and forest light. The studio's bases lean toward heel-friendly nylon blends with the kind of warm-toned semi- solids and gentle variegations that wear well in finished objects. Tippytreeyarns.com is the active 2026 shop; club drops and one-off colourways move quickly. Otter is one of the brown semi-solids the studio carries through restocks — a good neutral to pair against the brighter speckled colourways or to use as a heel/cuff accent.
