New socks

Aren’t those pretty? The yarn is fabulous. It’s dyed by Felt Fusion, but the fiber blend is from John Arbon; their Exmoor sock yarn blend. The difference between the two is interesting. The John Arbon version is dyed as fiber, then spun, and the Felt Fusion yarn is dyed after the fiber is spun into yarn. The latter feels a bit “heftier” once knitted up. Both of these make great socks, and the resulting socks wear well.

It’s the same old generic pattern, except that I’ve had to downsize my socks just a bit since I lost weight. I’d rather have lost it in my butt than from my feet, but whatever.

Back to my reading. I took a little study break, spun a little yarn, decided to do a blog post, but now it’s back to reading for this week’s classes.
