Notes

Shortrow heel instead of afterthought.

Thought 2.5mm was a little bit too tight on my wider feet (but that might have been my gauge). Went up to 2.75mm for the ankle part.

ALMOST managed to only use one ball of the Fabel, this baby has some serious yardage.

Feeling the love? Want some more? Find it here

All in all, lovely, highly recommend.
