Torture Yarn!

NEW! From Really-bad Yarn Co.:

As we approach the holiday season, it seems that knitters have a harder and harder time meeting their deadlines. There are so many people to knit for… children, family, teachers, friends… the list goes on and on! Every year the list grows longer and longer, but in the end, it is such a great gift to wrap a loved-one in the warmth of handmade goodness.

However, consider the classic predicament of many a knitter: Suppose one of your gifts goes unappreciated? Suppose a friend or co-worker (or mother-in-law) complained about the style, color, fit, or care required of their knitted gift?

Now presenting, Torture Yarn!

This elite yarn combines premier materials with a keen design sensibility. A trendy combination of boucle, novelty, razor sharps barbs, and stainless steel fibers, Torture Yarn© gives you maximum bang for your buck! And at 440 yards per skein, it’s a great value! What better way to really “stick it to” that specialperson in your life?

This “workhorse” yarn is considered super-bulky, and looks best at 2.5 - 4 stitches/inch. It knits up in no time, and just a little goes a long, long way! Aunt Hortense griping about her scarf from last year catching in the door? Make her a cowl from Torture Yarn©! Boss being a jerk about his latte? How about aTorture Yarn© coffee cozy! Husband having memory lapses, particularly those wedding vows? Well, do like Patsy Cline and give his “Cheatin’ Heart” a pair of Torture Yarn© boxers!

Each skein comes with a pair of heavy-duty work gloves. Needle nose pliers and wire cutters suggested.

Available in three beautiful colorways: Iron Maiden, Steel Shackles, and Solitary Confinement!

Ok, I really need some of this stuff in my life.


In other news, I finished my sweater! My batteries in my camera are dead, and it will be too dark out to photograph.... so I suppose it will just have to wait. Let me tell you, though -- it's worth waiting for.


This is one of the best worst things I've ever made, if you catch my drift. If only it were made with TORTURE YARN!!!
