Notes

Can prob get 2 socks out of this yardage.

I LOVE this yarn. The socks are knitting themselves.

One sock is very efficient - 27 grams of yarn. Unfortunately, I will be ~10g short for a second pair of these. Consider making the second pair with either a different coloured heel or diff coloured toe and you’ll get a second pair.

In final analysis, each sock is 27g (quite yarn efficient!) but I also lost a couple of grams in weaving ends (to ensure the stripes all match.

I have 47g left - enough for 23g per sock (and then make up the other ~4g per sock (~8g total) using the end of the Cascade Heritage navy colourway.

Note: In the end this took 6g per sock of the Cascade Heritage…
