This is lovely and warm and picks up tons of dirt every time the socks are worn. I know this because I have made both mohair blend and lincoln socks, which have similar characteristics. They'll be great, ignoring the dust attraction Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028506404055347307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23811431.post-82032035221796974282007-07-19T10:45:00.000-07:002007-07-19T10:45:00.000-07:00The wensleydale looks interesting & Cross Lanes Fa...The wensleydale looks interesting & Cross Lanes Farm is only about 3/4hr from here. Maybe a call on a trip out later on this 'summer'!<BR/><BR/>I'm impressed by the firm hand delt to the biscuits.

I'm spinning my first superwash merino 2-ply for socks now, and I don't know whether I've got that right yet. I need to sort out how to three-ply. All my favourite sock yarns are 3ply.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291326380557787987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23811431.post-19410728284871903452007-07-19T04:59:00.000-07:002007-07-19T04:59:00.000-07:00First off, thanks for the suggestion about blockin...First off, thanks for the suggestion about blocking. You had me running for the iron as it seemed the easiest way to give it a test and see. It looks better, much better and has re-enthused me for the rest of the project. Secondly, please don't think you are mad to dream about knitting because if you are it means I am too!<BR/>Love the socks, they look ideal for the winter.
