Sock yarn suggestions??
So much for the yarn diet!! LoL
I am wanting to make the boyfriend some socks. I am needing some suggestions for yarn. I would like something in earthy tones, preferably self-striping with larger stripes. Superwash would be a plus, but not necessary, as I am the one that does the laundry. Some one at the Knitting Meetup had some Steinbach Woole (Aktiv Effekt). It was lovely!! Maybe something like this or something else. I am willing to take all suggestions to my LYS's so I can feel it and play with it!! Thanks in advance!! Heather http://heathershobbyblog.blogspot.com |

Most sock yarn that's labelled as sock yarn is made of superwash wool with some nylon blended in for durability. The best thing to do is to go to the LYS and see what they have. Some "standard" brands that most shops should/ought to carry: Opal Meilenweit Regia 4- and 6-ply Brown Sheep Wildfoote Some that are superwash but have no nylon blended in: Lorna's Laces Cherry Tree Hill Koigu +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |
