 |
| women's size 10 |
Pattern: Plain Jane - ribbed cuff socks
Needles: size 2, US

Creatively Dyed Yarn (Ocean) 70% wool and 30% Seacell - 5.6 ounces fingering
Regina Tweed 70% super wash wool, 25% polyamide, 5% Viscose
It's the first time, I've ever knit with yarn that contained Seacell: it is a bit coarse to knit and split a bit, but I think it will wear like iron. I tried several projects (a cowl, a hat, a shawl) with this yarn before deciding to knit the Plain Jane socks, and I have enough remaining to make another pair. The Ocean color way is a vibrant and over-powering, so I paired it with the tweed to tone it down a bit.
That is a FUN color!
ReplyDeleteFeels like forever since I hosted a swap or participated in one. Glad your yarn found a way to become socks!
