The Bases
At Little Squirrel Yarn we have a select number of carefully chosen bases that we use. Softness of the base in paramount and we only dye on bases that we would be happy to knit with.
Oak Sock:
The perfect blend of soft and sturdy: strong enough to make socks that will last and perfect for snuggly sweaters, shawls, cowls, and hats! A smooth ply and excellent stitch definition make for a yarn that is a delight to knit and wear.
