100% Canadian Wool

After spending 10 days touring around Newfoundland and seeing many, many hand-knitted socks made from the very famous 100% Canadain wool yarn from local New Brunswick, "Briggs and Little" it only seemed natural that when returning home, MrB would want to try and make a pair from the same yarn on his circular sock knitting machine.  So here are the results!  It is a very heavy yarn and he needed to use a low tension, but otherwise turned out well.  This sock pair will be on display and be

for sale, mainly to show it can be done, as we have had a few requests in market conversations.  Notice the two strands of yarn laying side by side, as this depicts the thickness of each yarn.  The orange yarn (the skinnier of the two is usually what we knit with) and the Red is the thicker being the Briggs and Little yarn.  Mind you there are different gauges of the yarn and we have used one of the thinner ones.  I just wanted to mention also that I noticed this was my 300th post!
