It&#8217;s custom-milled for my friend Alice Yu, who then dyes it in all sorts of fantastic colors. I especially like that her colors have depth\u00c2\u00a0 and nuance to them. The yarn has a great twist for showing off stitch patterning, the merino fibers are wonderfully soft yet durable, and Sokkusu Original is just the right density knitting up comfortably at 9 stitches per inch for socks that will last quite\u00c2\u00a0some time. I like that it balances a springy, soft and comfortable knitting experience with the durability of a long staple fiber and thin (but not too thin!) yet dense fabric.<\/p>\n<p>This is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/nanaimo-socks\">Nanaimo<\/a> sock pattern, named after the coastal town where my mother-in-law lives.
