View Full Version : cashmere socks! ?  02-13-2007, 05:13 PM Ok
you sock people! I've made about 6 pairs now and am without a
pair on the needles NO GOOD. I realized the other day that all
of the socks I've made are rather big and bulky. So the next
pair I make I want to be sleek and slim, the kind you want to
pull on all the time. In fact I'd like about 10 pairs of those.
Then I dedided, wouldn't it be nice to make a cashmere pair.
(did you see Martha Stewart darning ha ha her cashmere socks
with Bette Midler. Martha says to Bette: "these are EXPENSIVE,
did YOU buy these?" yeah right, Martha darn's her socks)
Anyhow, sorry, uh, oh yeah, so any suggestions for a cashmere
that would be good for socks? Or maybe I should use a blend?  I
found this new yarn: RYC (is that Rowan?) Cashsoft 4ply,
"Suitable for just about any purpose, Cashsoft 4-Ply is a soft,
machine-washable merino/cashmere blend. This yarn will make
great mittens, socks, and hats especially. Content: 50%
