Say what you will, but you can't beat sport-weight yarn for instant sock gratification. Pair that with self-striping? Magic.
Those of you following me on Instagram saw this a little while ago. If you're not on it, you should check it out. It's an awesome way to see a LOT of knitting out in the wild.
I haven't tried Regia yet... I will add it to my list ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, there's always worsted weight! I've been known to resort to tht for instant gratification. I bought shoes a half size bigger to make it work. 40 sts for my socks!
ReplyDeleteThat self striping is a whole lot of happy.
The colors of some of these self stiping yarns seem subdued or even a bit dull to me. Are there yarn sources for 72/25 (wool/nylon) yarns that are vibrant, bright colors? I love the colors in the yarn featured here, but would like to see them brighter.. Any suggestions or info I need to know?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kat
There are other colors by the same company that are even brighter!
