Geeky Yarn!

So as well as a knitter, I'm a huge geek, and I love it when my 'loves' combine...

There's lots of blogs and posts out there with geeky knitting patterns in, but a friend recently found these Firefly themed yarns and they're gorgeous. I really need the Crazy Ivan in my life, the colours are just beautiful.

Which got my wondering what else is out there in terms of Geeky yarn...

I used to by lots of handyed yarn from 'Snugglebots' a work at home mum, she has some fantastic colourways, the best is 'the Dr Who colourway' which is great fun. 




On my trawl I also found this Iron Man yarn from Yarn Geek Fibers, unfortunately an American store so not much good for me unless I want to pay a tun of postage, but the colours are lovely! 

 have some ace geeky yarns as well. Check out this lovely Tardis yarn, and this Bellatrix yarn, but for me the winner has to be Effie Trinket yarn, its subtle and gorgeous. It's another American seller, but I don't care, honestly there's so much Geeky Yarn to be had I may as well just send them my next few pay checks!

So have you found any geeky yarns that I've missed? Which is your favourite? Is there a geeky colourway that you would like to see made, and if so what is it?
