Who needs to shop when you have friends to bring you presents? Jane, one of my regulars, went on vacation and brought back this Plymouth Rockin'Sox yarn. She knows I like orange. I think this must be a new yarn. I haven't seen it anywhere. It's 60% superwash wool, 25% bamboo and 15% nylon. The color number is 005.
I was curious so I cast on this morning and did a little sample. Not a project really. No, really. It's not. That would be silly since I already have ten or twelve other sock projects going. I just wanted to able to tell Jane how much I liked it and to let you know what I think of it. It's pretty nice. Soft and smooth. I thought it was going to be splitty but it seems to be fine one these bamboo needles.
I also wanted to see how the colors would play out. So far it looks like a long spiral. But who knows how it will look after the heel and gusset. Well, I'm not really making a sock anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.
ETA: It's a 100 gram skein.

How much does the skein weigh?
Not really make a sock, eh? LOL! It looks very pretty.
I really like the yarn colors - here's hoping it continues to spiral!
Larry,
You crack me up! I bet your "non" socks turn out beautifully.

I bought a couple of skeins of this in a local yarn shop but can't seem to find it on-line. I was curious to see what other colors there were. Very soft and seems like it will be nice to work with!
Larry - Where've you been? Earthquake gotcha down? It hit us here in SM like a freight train. Felt just like the Whittier quake back in the 80's, but without all those fallen down chimneys. Hope you're OK.
