* 2 skeins of Hand Jive's Nature's Palette 100% merino wool. These colors are Coral and Walnut. Please note that to make 2 pairs of socks you will probably need all 185 yards of these skeins, so be careful substituting...
UPDATE: Purl Soho no longer carries the Nature's Palette yarn. An equally beautiful yarn and a great substitute is Alchemy's Juniper. One hunderd percent hand dyed superfine merino and machine washable, Juniper is the same weight and gauge as Nature's Palette and 47 yards longer so you'll definitely have enough!
* 1 set of US #2 double pointed needles. I used Crystal Palace's 6 inch bamboo needles.
* 1 Susan Bates Pom Pom Maker (Optional - you can also make pom poms with a handmade cardboard template.)
