Of course, I’ve got to tease a little.

It’s been five years since these DreaM Stockings debuted,

and a little over three since they were available in an OTK and a thigh high.

But it’s been almost two years since we’ve had them in stock.  The yarn for these socks was discontinued and we’ve been on a hunt for a replacement ever since.

But a secret stash of the yarn has been found—enough to make a limited run of both OTK and thigh highs.  We won’t have them forever and we’re still looking for a long-term supply of this yarn, but for a short time, this sock dream has come true.

Have you guessed what they are? Join us after the jump for the answer!

Yes! The Super Dreamy and O Dreamy socks are back! They’re only available in Hibiscus and Autumn, but the slubby, soft, beautiful marled socks are back for a limited time.

So if you loved the Super Dreamy socks, now is the time to get a pair!

And if the O Dreamy Stockings were something you always wanted but never got a pair of, grab some while you can!

Did you get a pair of these dreamy socks the first time around?

I’m most excited about one of our newest styles for a terribly nerdy reason. Jacquard weaving, with its innovative loom (that was basically an early computer!) is a pretty cool thing.  Socks are knit, not woven, and it turns out that there is a way to knit, jacquard style!  The resulting two-colour patterns have great stretch, beautiful vertical patterns and have swept all us Dreamers off our feet with love.  The first jacquard style we introduced has a gorgeous vertical ripple that almost plays optical illusion-like with your eyes.

The brand-newest jacquard style the girly side of me totally squeals over, it’s all ribbons and flowers and springy colours.

What I like best about the jacquard styles is that the inside is almost like terry loops, so they’re crazy cozy, but the stretchy knit doesn’t get overwarm!

More exciting new things after the jump!

Now, our Extraordinary Thigh Highs are already pretty, well, extraordinary—with a foot that fits US Women’s shoe size 6-14 (men’s 4-12), a calf stretch of 24 inches and a cuff stretch of 27 inches! We’ve got them in Striped, we’ve got them in an even longer striped and now (drumroll please), we have our solid-coloured Extraordinary Thigh Highs in an extra-long version that goes up the very tip top of a lot of our legs and solidly over the knee on folks with larger and longer legs.  May we proudly present the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs!

If you’ve been looking for a true thigh high, these just might be it! They go to the tippity tops of most legs, they even hit thigh high territory on one of our plus-size testers with 27 inch thigh circumference and a 30 inch inseam, who normally can only wear thigh highs as over the knee socks.  If you’ve got longer legs, they won’t go as high, but they’ll still hit respectively above the knee.

In the same theme of new versions of old favourites the wonderful Acrylic Slouch Socks should look familiar! I’ve always been a big fan of the Cotton Slouch Socks, but I may have just found a new love.

Acrylic has some of the same textures as wool, which is why it is so often blended with it.  But there’s no wool in these, just super soft acrylic in bright crayon colours.

It’s so exciting how our Sock Dreams styles are growing and I cannot wait to see what we think up in the future.  What new Dreamer Sock style are you most excited to try?

Our winter logo (similar to the blue theme wallpaper we have, but with her classic purple hair) rocks multi-blue stripes.  The Dreamy Knees in Waterfall are almost a perfect match!

More logo matching options after the jump!

The summery rainbow logo is an easy match, our Rainbow Dreams in Classic are a sure thing, though the Foot Traffic Acrylic Rainbow OTKs are a good pairing too (and we have so many rainbow styles in our Rainbow Collection)

What about the pinks and blues of our classic logo that you see on our stickers?  Well, the Dreamy Knees in Sweet Pea are a close match, but they’re nowhere near exact.  And they’re currently out of stock, though we expect more from our wonderful DreaM Stocking supplier soon (remember, you can always write us and we’ll let you know as soon as they’re back in stock).

We’re picky about our colours and sometimes yarn is hard to get, or a certain colour stops being made, which is why we haven’t made a sock that perfectly matches our classic logo colours.  That’s also why the two styles that match our pretty purple logo (which we have as a desktop wallpaper) are discontinued.  What kind of world is it that a full range of purple yarn is hard to find?  Well, we’re crossing fingers and toes that we’ll find the colours we want.  Until then, in memoriam, two delicious purple stripe socks we can no longer get the way we want:

But I don’t want to end on a sad note (though there’s still hope!).  We do have great options for matching both our current logo and the rainbow variation.  And we’re on the search for the perfect purples and just the right shades of blues and pinks to match our other logo styles.  Until then, have you matched our logo (extra points if you rock purple hair!)?  Do you have a favourite style of our Sock Dreams gal?

I am 5’6.5”, 225lbs, 31-32 inch inseam,
hips 49in, 29in thigh, 19in calf, size 8.5 shoe.

So now we have them, and they fit me pretty dang good. They have more room in the waist than the regular size helping the waistband lay nice and flat.

Foot Traffic seems to have reinforced the weave from waist to about mid thigh and I’m thinking that will make them last longer. They are still nice and soft and stretchy. They fit my size and shape quite well. I would guess that a size or two above me would do well with them too depending on your shape and leg length.

The leggings fit me a bit differently than the tights. The leggings seem to me a bit smaller, not a ton, but a bit. The plus size legging also has the reinforced thigh and panty area as the tights but here it seems to effect the sideways stretch some and cause a slight dent in my thigh. But the waist band is great on these as well.

Charcoal is one of my favorite colors and am already planning out some nice fall skirt, sock, and legging/tights combos. I can’t wait for even more colors!
