Self-Striping Hand Knit Socks

These socks were knit last year, but I hadn't posted them on my blog. I love the self striping and colors of this yarn. The yarn is thicker than other sock yarn I have used before. I used a sock yarn from Regia, which is German made. They are warmer, thicker and hardly pill, unlike most other brands of sock yarn I have used before, which pill horribly. 

I have a variety of brands, and colors of sock yarn to knit socks or scarves, etc. with, so I need to use up those yarns before I buy any more Regia sock yarn again.

Hand Knit Socks in a Self-Striping Yarn

I knit these socks from some self-striping yarn. Loops and Thread brand yarn (from Michael's). The yarn is a blend of merino wool, nylon and even 10% cashmere, making them very soft. I love the colors and like how the pattern of the yarn knit out. I was able to knit one entire sock and about 2/3's of the second sock from one ball of yarn. So if I knit a really short short leg, I might be able to knit another pair of socks from what is leftover of this yarn, or I could just knit the toes and heels in another contrasting yarn color. But in the meantime I need to finish a baby blanket I am knitting. Nearly done with it.

Hand Knit Socks

I made a pair of socks using this yarn for myself and my son's current girlfriend too. It's a self-stripe yarn.
