The yarn is Elsbeth Lavold's Silky Wool. I just adore it for all kinds of knitting so when I was going to tackle a special pair of socks last year and had a bunch of Silky Wool in my stash, though, why not? It's very durable because of the twist and the nylon and silk content, and I've had trouble knitting firm enough fabric with other sock yarns. Turned out great.<br /><br />Maybe I am just too hard on my socks, but all my other pairs sprout holes within a year. Not so the Silky Wool.KatieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715255204609579025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-15838495408725033142010-12-05T07:16:30.435-05:002010-12-05T07:16:30.435-05:00great review thanks :) Favourite sock yarn?... tha...great review thanks :) Favourite sock yarn?... that's hard!!

Then I left the yarn and needles on an airplane so I had to repurchase the supplies. So overall, my first pair of socks cost about $100!Bonnie O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10337963671634796459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29776177.post-70618213817068582632010-12-01T11:55:51.713-05:002010-12-01T11:55:51.713-05:00Guilty as charged...I do buy more sock yarn than I...Guilty as charged...I do buy more sock yarn than I can ever hope to knit socks with.
