Twisted Fiber Art, Inc.

Yarn:  Arial.  
Arial is a fine fingering weight yarn with two light, airy plies.  It knits into a thin, soft and cohesive fabric that feels good on feet in both summer and winter.  The yardage of this yarn makes knitting socks for large feet, intricate pattern stitching or knee-highs feasible with one 100 gram skein.  Knit tight for socks, getting the correct gauge is key!  Also a good bet for lacey scarves and shawls (it’s a decent substitution for lace weight).

And I have it on good authority that this yarn makes a wonderful crochet fabric and is an ideal choice for crochet socks (one skein is an ample amount even for large socks)!

Talon. Murky red and caustic green. They meet and form a pithy brown and then fade away in their respective colors to lighten then darken again. I wanted this one for a pair of knee high stockings. The colors were inspired by the sentient ship in Farscape.

Skein Design: Soulmates. This pattern alternates between two colors. Where they meet they become their most intense and blend into a color more interesting then either alone. They fade the farther away they get from each other.
