Circus Tonic is the brainchild of Australia's Hannah Ginn, a former molecular geneticist who finds color inspiration in the world around her. We just opened two big boxes this week and our sock wall has never looked more brilliant. Read on for details about the two bases and info on her Spun-exclusive, Ann Arbor-inspired colorways!
Spun exclusive!
US 1.5/B (2.5 mm) • 7 STITCHES/INCH • 399 YARDS • FINGERING
80 PERCENT BLUEFACED LEICESTER, 20 PERCENT NYLON
Hannah has created something very special for Spun: a collection of original colors inspired by Ann Arbor native Nancy Willard's classic The Adventures of Anatole, with each colorway named after an Ann Arbor street past or present. The base itself offers a tight twist, meaning that its softness is balanced by durability and the promise of good stitch definition. It's thus ideal for socks, of course, but it's also perfect for accessories and garments and is an excellent choice for stranded colorwork.

Plied, pretty, versatile Crunadh Zebra Sock will yield stunning socks, but don't dismiss the possibilities this beauty offers for garments and accessories, perhaps paired for colorwork with a complementary solid or tonal. Yokes? Brioche? Experiment! Enjoy!
