Now, I have heard of these but never seen them in person. How interesting.There was a woman who learned to spin on the spot.
All she had to do was focus on the drafting of the fiber. How cool is that?

I have never seen sock blanks with designs dyed into them before.
These are sheets of yarn that are woven by machines. You purchase the white blanks and dye them yourself and then unravel them. You knit them into socks as you unravel them.
