My mum was struck by this yarn, because it is sock yarn with copper in it. She bought a cone of it, wound it into hanks, dyed it, and gave me 100 grams. I really love the dye job she did on this yarn-it’s a really nice blend of blues and greens. The yarn was a little odd looking in the skein, as the plies stretched differently, so it had a bit of an untwisted look, but it knit up perfectly normally. I wasn’t sure how much of a pattern I could get to show with these, so I went ahead and did a standard pair of socks with no patterning. It is nice to occasionally have some mindless knitting, particularly when I’m working!
There was just enough of this skein left over to make little baby socks, which I gave to my newest cousin, along with two hats-an apple and a cabled one. She needed some hats since she’d grown out of all of her brother’s castoff hats…
