The third yarn is Lorna's Laces. This yarn too feels very soft.
I can't wait to see how MrB likes the feel of these socks on his feet. The label says it is hand-dyed yarn. This particular colourway is called, Christmas at Downton.
The stripes are unique and thin. I really like the striping and the shades of this pair. The yarn is #1, super fine. The yarn is Solemate, 55% Superwash Merino Wool, 15% Nylon, and 30% Outlast* viscose. Although the label instructions say it can be machine washed cold and machine dry until damp, I hand washed them and air dried them by the wood fire. I am pretty sure that MrB will enjoy wearing this pair too.
MrB is the cranker in this venture. He creates hand-cranked knitted wool socks made on our Circular Sock Machine, we call Brigadier 88! It is the #88th Erlbacher Gearhart Knitting Machine newly made. Me, MsB is the cranky assistant (not) :-) that runs the business side of things,networking,doing the sock tags,yarn ordering,kitchener stitching and more. MrB is studious,and is constantly cranking out new pairs of SOCKS Made on 88! Our story and my blog unfolds here... it all began Jan.3, 2012
