Notes

This yarn is quite strange- looks quite ‘thick’ on the ball, so much so that I thought it might yield overly bulky socks. But as soon as you hold it taut for knitting, you realise it’s actually rather thin- probably because made of a single ply.
I was so concerned I CO smaller size with 3.25 mm needles but then hated the fabric that way. So I decided to start over.
