I may have missed it if you said in another post, I'm just making my way through my Google Reader this morning.<br />Anyway, I can get enough for sport weight socks out of 4 ounces of merino but it takes some practice to get it thin enough to ply into a good sock yarn. My very most favorite yarn is spun super thin and then Navajo plied into a thick fingering or sport weight and it knits into the most charming stripes.

I can't fit in spinning right now so I will happily cheer you on!!Jenniferhttp://www.ascozyasspring.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
