Candyman

“Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two? The Candyman can ‘cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.” – Bill of the candy shop; Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Brightly colored yarns are a sure way to satiate any knitter’s sweet tooth, though it can be a challenge to properly show them off. This design highlights the incredible hues of Spun Right Round ‘Blender’ by creating sprinkles of color across a dark background. The colors create tiny diamonds across the leg of the sock and are highlighted in the cuff, toe, and heel. Color, texture, and playfulness are at the heart of this design, perfect for the original Candyman himself… or his sweet-loving customers.
