Hand-dyed alpaca — Spotted Circus — Sinestro · Fingering · 400 yd

Yellow as a comic-book panel, charcoal as the inkwell that drew it, and a single shock of pink across the strand — this is what an indie dyer with a story in mind does to an alpaca-merino sock blend. The hand-written maker card is still tucked into the band.

Spotted Circus was an indie dye house active around 2010–2013, and the Heroes vs Villains Sock Club ran themed monthly colorways inspired by comic-book lineages. 'Sinestro' is the August 2011 villain installment — named for Green Lantern's antagonist, whose Sinestro Corps wears the yellow of fear. A single skein, never wound, never knit, with the original maker card.

30% alpaca, 30% merino, 20% bamboo, 20% nylon · Fingering weight · 400 yards per skein (1 skein — 400 yards total) · gauge 32 sts / 4 inches · needles US 1–3 (2.25–3.25 mm).

Colorway: Sinestro.

Twice-owned · 30% under retail · small-batch hand-dyed, re-homed · 1 available, sold per skein. Curated and re-homed by Storybook Yarn — every skein verified by hand before listing.

Lovely for: a long pair of socks (400 yards is a generous adult sock), a fingerless mitt set, a saturated triangle scarf, or a colorwork yoke for a child's sweater paired with a solid charcoal merino. Single-skein sock-club one-offs like this are best worn as themselves, not blended.

Care: Hand wash cool, no agitation; lay flat to dry. Hang the maker card in the project bag while you knit so the colorway story stays with the finished piece.

Condition: new with band. One 100g, 400-yard skein, never wound. Original hand-written maker card included.
