Notes

Yes it is Orange,
Bear has a job that involves walking over roads wearing a safety vest, a safety reflector harness, safety refective gaiters .. safety boots (steel caps), and a safety hat. On those days our car boot (trunk) is filled with a stack of full size road cones, so when I saw this yarn for sale .. well it had to be socks to add to his ‘safety’ look.
I’m thinking a road cone repeat and perhaps a little road paint marking along the cuff … and toe?
no stopping lines perhaps?

but argh … its not superwash, this was one of the yarns caught up in the superwash but not issue .. so perhaps a hat?
but problem .. the yarn turns out to be non-superwash … so not good for socks, not the sellers fault (they were let down).. but a rethink into a road cone hat methinks?
or sock in superwash when that colour resurfaces?
