Don't get me wrong I LOVE this yarn but I would not use it for socks. It's quite slubby and while overall it's classed as 4 ply, the thickness varies from cobweb to almost aran weight at times. I can see that if you socked it you might end up with thin patches. There is a nylon content to it according to the ball band but, as I can break it quite easily, I'm not sure that it would be very hardwearing as socks.
My lacy Xmas project is being done, but very slowly, as I have to follow the pattern religiously - so unlike me! However, the result will be worth it, I feel.
Bizarrely, I've got hooked on darts on the TV - genius mental arithmetic plus odd looking men - what's not to like?
