- Rating: ***** on the yarn. This is the first time I’ve used this, it is soft, but feels sturdy at the same time.
I’m on a sock-knitting binge at the moment. I have a bunch of hand knit socks that are approaching the end of their life-span, so I need to replenish the stash. Many of my socks have lasted more than a decade of heavy wear, so I definitely get my money’s worth out of them. John needs more socks too. The next pair will be for him. I already started these for him yesterday.
Oh my. This is Regia Premium Merino Yak sock yarn. I may have lost my mind here in the stash-acquisition department. This yarn is heavenly to knit with, and the yak content gives it a muted heathery color. You should go buy some if there is any left anywhere. Simply Sock Yarn carries this in the US, and Knitting Loft in Canada, if you are in the mood to shop.
Great looking socks. The dyer nailed the colorway.
Oh that yarn in teal with yak looks so dreamy! I’m on a slow sock knitting binge right now too, easily portable summer projects.
I swore I’d never buy another skein of yarn, then the yarn devil taunts me. Ooooh Hudson Bay colours.
