My Impressions

It knit up quickly and effortlessly. This fine yarn is an excellent choice for cables or textured patterns with the beautiful stitch definition.

I chose to use US # 1 dpn's vs. the recommended US #1.5 - 2.5's to make a slightly sturdier sock.

The yarn was soft to the touch and pleasant to knit with.... It knitted up effortlessly. No snagging, no twisting, and no knots.

Washability

Machine washable. Recommend Gentle cycle with cold water and Line dry.

Wearability

The wool-blend makes it perfect for all season wear. The nylon assists in the longer wear and there

is no need to reinforce either the heels or toes. After many wearings, they have not shown any

signs of wear. Seem durable with no pilling. Pleasant on the feet ... no scratchiness and non-irritating to the bottom of the feet. Its comfortable to wear with shoes and clogs.
