I've never worn my handknit socks next to my skin because I have sensitive skin and can feel the "prickles" . . . I have to wear a thin pair of commercial socks (which must also be soft yet fit well) and put the handknit sock over these. It's not a big deal wrt thickness because I wear Birkie clogs during the winter, in any case. But yeah, it would be nice to be able to wear handknit socks with my boots and not feel like I have to take the boots off to scratch my feet . . . I’m with you on the requirements for sock yarn.

I've knit a mess of yellow socks from a great deal of Shetland that I knew would never make into the sweater and I love them. BTW, I thought of you when I knit a pair of socks that are about 70% merino, 20% alpaca and 10% silk--the yarn is from Peru--I'm at the office and can try to get you the name if you wish. The socks came out great, but not as exciting a color as yours. Awesome color.

So far, I have resisted the call of the turkey roaster. What a good idea starting out with commercial superwash merino for handspun sock yarn. So far, I have resisted the call of the turkey roaster.

Move over kool aid! What I want to know is you actually spun this in the washer? Did you put the fiber in anything? It probably is a dumb question. That was just to get the excess water out right?

What dyes? I've been thinking Gaywool, but as always your input will be cherished.
