Love this wool, and the pattern is quick and not difficult. I’m on my 2nd pair.

This yarn has wonderful striping with beautiful color combinations. The only thing you have to take into consideration is to match the beginning color combination used in the first sock when knitting the second sock so that they match perfectly. This yarn comes in several colors. I have knitted all I could find and the socks have become my children’s’ favorites. The yarn has a very nice hand. I highly recommend it and will continue to buy it in the future!
