It will be fun to wear this bright pair of socks when the weather turns cold. The striping sequence was totally unpredictable, yet the yarn was a delight to knit. I hope the yarn wears and washes well.
This color way would also make a colorful shawl or cowl.
Yarn: Queensland Perth (Alpine Shire) 80% super wash wool/20% nylon
Definitely a gorgeous color combo! I visited a yarn shop with my cousin when we were on our "girls weekend", and we both petted lots of yarn. She is an avid knitter, and always says she is a "want to be" quilter. It was amazing to me how different some yarns look in the skein or ball, and then compared to how they look in a finished product.
Another pair of lovely wool socks. I'm slowly working away on a 4 ply pair of pink socks for my granddaughter, the fine yarn takes so long to knit but now and again change to a thicker knitting projects for a change of pace.
