~ * Alaskan Merino Wool Socks 2.0 - Color Update * ~

Our Dreamers have been making magic happen behind the scenes to restock our warmest Alaskan Merino Wool socks. We had more merino wool yarn spun up in our four staple colorways (baby pink, cinder, gold and purple) and, due to different color ratio used in the new yarn, the colors look a bit different than before.

Read on for the full side-by-side comparison experience~

Baby Pink is now givinggg. Originally, the first iteration of this yarn blended light pink and tan together with subtle hints of sweet cream. The new yarn now shows a chunky mix of light pink, taupe and sweet cream, the end product has an almost marled texture. 

Then we have Cinder, which has been a topic of debate at the Sock Dreams HQ. Did it change, or has it stayed the same? We invite you to weigh in with your thoughts, however the new batch has been confirmed to use the new, reknit cinder yarn. 

Gold has been transformed with this new yarn. The previous gold yarn iteration was practically luminous; gold and tan blended together with those subtle hints of sweet cream dappled throughout. >> cue magical girl transformation << The blend of colors in the new yarn is full of texture and color; sprinkles of tawny brown, gold and sweet cream knit to perfection. 

When we first saw the new Purple yarn, the cold winter light altered the sock color, morphing the purple into what we thought was cinder. The previous purple yarn iteration was unapologetically purple, tinged with tan and sweet cream speckled throughout. The new yarn produces a more marled product, now showcasing the purple and sweet cream in bright contrast. 

TLDR; Moving forward, all colors of Alaskan Merino Wool socks have a marled visual texture with greater color constrast. The new Alaskans are being added to our website as we receive them. If you loved the Original Alaskan Merino Wool colors, send us a message and we can send you instructions on how to purchase them.  Like all great socks, they too need to find their forever homes.

Finished my first socks of 2025. They look goofy off a foot and January is unkind to sock pictures, but they fit amazingly.

Yarn is The Alpaca Yarn Company's Paca Peds, which is on the heavier side of typical sock yarn. No pattern, I wanted socks where the entire sole is slip stitch reinforced, and with ribbing around the arch of the foot for a closer fit.

How to Choose Hiking Socks

How to Choose Hiking Socks

The average person takes 2,000 steps to travel one mile. Factor in the up and down of a hiking trail and the roots and rocks you’ll encounter along the way, and that number only gets higher. With every step, the right socks play a critical role in keeping your feet comfortable and blister-free throughout your journey. To choose the best hiking socks for your trip, it’s important to consider…

The top rated hiking socks I got, on sale, today. The first are thicker and for cooler weather. The Smartwool PhD and Darn Toughs are supposed to be great for summer. Going to test them out. And get a pair each of the two on the right tomorrow via Amazon. Yeah, I am weird. So, my hope is that they work well, I don't have any good tall socks meant for hiking or trekking. And once I can hike I want to do it up right. I hiked previously in low top shoes that slipped all over my feet, surprised I didn't hurt myself hiking in those shoes but man they are comfy. I test these fit wise tonight and in the boots this weekend. Fun with socks, by Dr. Foot Cooper.

Not Too Late Tuesday

Welcome back, dreamers, for the final day of our sale.

We know this is an intense time for everyone, and your inbox and social feeds are probably a mess of promotional emails and posts, which is why we've taken to adding an extra day to our big sale weekend.

We'll keep this one short and sweet: our sale is going until midnight, Pacific Time, so take some deep breaths (and perhaps a nap) and don't stress if you haven't gotten your order in yet. There's still time!

Our crew of elves, faeries, and a few goblins, are hard at work pulling and packaging your orders, and we'd like to thank you all for another great Black Friday weekend!

Stay warm and dreamy, The Sock Dreams Team
