Notes

This yarn is very satisfying to knit up, but note that it is put up in 50 gram skeins, so you will need two skeins for a pair of socks. Additionally, the color is a tweed, not a space-dyed yarn, so there is always a variation in the color sequencing. Compare the side-by-side photos to get an idea.

If you are a fanatic matchy-matchy type, this yarn might not be for you. If you want a sturdy yarn for boot socks that is comfy, cozy, and a little bit crazy, this is for you. This yarn blooms nicely in the wash, and holds up well under machine wash and dry care.

Mods: 2x2 rib was continued down from the cuff to the heel, and on the top only of the foot.

Yes, these I will have to give to NOS, but I might make another pair for myself. They are the perfect blue jean socks.
