Turtlepurl Yarns Superwash Merino Wool Nylon Fingering Yarn, Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock Rock grey Parchment Scissor red Lizard green Spock blue Self stripe, Hand Dyed

A single 50g skein of Turtlepurl Yarns Striped Turtle Toes in the indie-dyer-classic Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock colorway — a high-twist superwash merino / nylon sock yarn hand-dyed to self-stripe in rock-grey, parchment-paper white, scissor-red, lizard-green, and Spock-blue, with thin charcoal contrast bars between every stripe. Turtlepurl's whole proposition is matched-pair self-stripers: the dyer pre-divides the colour run into two skeins so a knitter can start both socks from the same stripe and end up with a properly mirrored pair, no nipping and tucking required.

This listing is for one skein—  The maker's printed wrap-band and the dyer's own handwritten "Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock" identifier card are both included.

About the maker. Turtlepurl Yarns is the Ontario, Canada indie dye studio behind the Striped Turtle Toes line — hand-dyed self-striping sock yarn pre-divided into matching skeins so the two socks of a pair line up without measuring. Their Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock colourway is one of the studio's most beloved geeky-classic stripes — a sock-knitter's nod to the five-way extension of Rock-Paper-Scissors made canon by The Big Bang Theory. Turtlepurl is still actively dyeing; this set is from a previous release.
