Notes

Cuff in John Arbon (60st 2x2 rib) takes 4g of yarn…

I should have just the right amount of Denim (7g) which is what I used to make the last pair…

I think it’s next to impossible that I’ll work with the Exmoor Sock again. I hated it, even if it does end up blocking nicely. Whether it’s as strong as it seems remains to be seen but, if it isn’t, then there’s no reason anyone should put themselves through the misery of knitting with it.

  1. Slender fingering (that's rather splitty)
  2. Washer/Dryer Safe
  3. Pills like crazy - quality is not what it was when I first started using this yarn.

KristinM100's adjectives for this yarn
  1. Incredibly strong (I reckon it will be durable)
  2. So unpleasant to knit with (like string, no drape, no softness)
  3. Somehow both hairy and slippery
