Notes

01-11-2021

Check foot length at 4.75” from the last round of the heel. Update for future reference - at this weight, the yarn stretches a lot so I would consider 4.75” from last round of the heel, when working with this yarn in the future. When I did 5”, last time, the sock is slightly too roomy.

I’ve got 11.5g of yarn to do a) one of the heels and b) both of the toes. To be on the safe side (even though my last toe/heel combo with this yarn took 9g and I had 14g at the start of these sock) I’ll do 2 rounds of decreases and 2 rounds knitted plain (first 4 rounds of the toe) in the main yarn, before switching to the contrast in order. After sock 1, I still have 9g of yarn, which means I’ve only used 5g of yarn to make the heel and toe.

KristinM100's star rating
KristinM100's adjectives for this yarn
  1. Very soft, very drapy - it grows a lot once blocked
  2. Did not wear well - holes appeared quickly / Wouldn't use for socks again / This yarn will felt if put in the dryer (but that may help to stabilize the stitches if you only do it once)
  3. There's something very slippery about it, prob re: superwash treatment, and it doesn't work well on US1 needles (it splits). US 1.5 to US 2 work well. Since you can't put it in the dryer (as far as I know), this won't be a go-to yarn.
