YARN
MC: Woll Butt Söckli uni/meliert (75% superwash wool, 25% Polyamide; 230 yd/210 m per 50 g skein); Jägergrün, color #41053; 1, 1, 2 skeins
CC: Schoppel Zauberball® Crazy (75% superwash wool, 25% Polyamide (biodegradable); 459 yd/420 m per 100 g skein); Early Automn, color #1153; 1 skein

Yarn Characteristics
spacer These socks use traditional sock yarns in a wool and polyamide (nylon) blend. The CC is a yarn with a very long color gradient, which makes it nearly impossible to knit two identical socks from just one ball. Any matching weight/composition sock yarn in a gradient colorway will provide similar results. If you prefer to work two matching socks, choose a gradient yarn with a shorter gradient colorway.
