Great socks.

There are a zillion beautiful sock yarns out there. Many (most?) of them are expensive. Not too expensive considering the work that goes into hand dyeing the yarns but it is nice to find some nice yarns that are affordable.

I love Knit Picks needles in a big way but I am not usually thrilled with their yarns. Some of them are nice for some projects but none of them have delighted me until I ordered some "Imagination" on a whim. This yarn is a blend of wool, alpaca and nylon which means it is comfy, warm and durable. The 25% alpaca content means the socks start to stretch out of shape fairly quickly but they always bounce right back after washing.

One skein gave me this pair of socks - not bad for under $6.00!!!
