As with all variegated yarn, it looks much nicer IRL than it does in photograph. The nuance is lost here.

Notes

Yarn bought for this project May 2026

64st CO

2x2 rib - 20R

Knit leg till 6” from CO - 45R (16g yarn used from CO)

FLK heel - 10/12/10 (4g yarn used)

Knit foot from end of heel segment till 6.3” - 68R (16g)

Toe decreases -ssk/k2tog (2g)

This yarn is thicker than I usually work with - good cuz it makes squishy sock on a larger needle and takes less long than it would, given that this is a man’s sock.

Took 16g to knit up to the heel. Heel took 4g. Foot took 16g. Toe took 2g. Each sock uses ~38g of this yarn.
