Notes

First time using this self striping yarn - which I understand is supposed to be entirely symmetrical as long as you knit from the same side of each skein. Two skeins provided (450 yards / 100 g or 50 g per skein). Prob can’t get 2 pairs out of this but maybe I can use the remaining 40 ish grams with another, compatible colourway. May be tricky but I’m sure I’ll figure out something.

This worked really well but I have the perfect amount for one other sock. If I buy this yarn again I should buy 2 batches (in 4 skeins) so I have enough to make 3 pairs.

Update: Just bought another skein. Better to be able to make another 2 pairs - one for my father and another for me or to give away as another gift.
