Big personality in a perfectly bite-sized put-up. The Show Stopper Mini Skein features Leading Men Fiber Arts’ signature sock base in a fun, 20-gram size. Blending buttery-soft Superwash Merino with durable Nylon, this 4-ply fingering weight yarn offers exceptional stitch definition, plump elasticity, and next-to-skin softness with zero compromise on strength.

Hand-dyed in small batches with brilliant, saturated dyes, these minis are ideal for adding pop-color heels and toes to sock projects, building high-contrast colorwork motifs, or working up multi-shade fade shawls. Whether you’re snagging a single accent shade or building a custom palette, these little hanks are pure creative inspiration.
