Here are some of the handpainted yarns we are using to make socks with right now. The yarn is a fingering wt. and composed of 90 % merino superwash wool, and 10 % nylon. This yarn has a terrific feel-- springy, cool, but strong. The socks feel great on your feet--light, breathable, yet warm, very comforting if you tend to have feet that ache. Each skein yields approximately 350 yds. and sells at $10.50 plus shipping. Three skeins will give you two pair of socks, with lots of yarn left over. Send me your zip or country, and I will look for the best shipping rate.
