We know a lot of you have been waiting very patiently for these, and we’re happy to announce that the crew version of our Proud Stripes are finally here! We’ve also added two new colorways, in both crews and over-the-knees.
As always, if you have any suggestions for other colorways for these, we’re all ears! Our mills are somewhat limited in the colors for acrylic yarn, but even if it’s not possible at the moment, we’re taking notes for later. We’re still brainstorming ways to handle the lesbian-pride flag, since we don’t have enough pinks to do the gradient version. Any ideas are welcome!

It’s made of purple netting (thicker and stretchier than tulle) over solid blue, and the fins and lining are made of the same stuff. The eyes are some magically iridescent orange fabric that frays like a motherfucker.
The fin pattern is just quilting with silver thread, and the lips are just the lining overlapped a bit. The side fins are both pockets!
If I had to redo this, I would probably put some batting in the fins, they’re a bit floppy.
