Notes

Tension 4.5
(This yarn knits slightly more easily than the Regia and works well on a slightly tighter tension.)
Tension dial was slipping a little during these socks (and previous pairs. I think this is why they have pooled slightly differently.
The blanks were probably a slightly different tension too each other too :-/

Sock blanks knitted with 1 strand of undyed drops Fabel, worked on most of the needles with a few removed (72 is use maybe?). On the loosest tension.
Then dyed with diagonal lines of colour.
They didn’t come out exactly how I wanted but I still like them. I was aiming for graduated stripes which you can see in the left sock, but the right sock just pooled randomly.

The fit is good.

12rounds, picot round, 12 rounds, pick up round.
Leg 90 rounds
Heel over 40sts down to 20. 1up then 1up 2down method.
Foot 72rounds
Toe as heel.

Used aproximately 45g for each sock.
