Thanks for the warning! They have been in use on several days now and I can see the delicate nature of this yarn. They haven’t been felting in use but they definitely have stretched. Considering this they would probably fit easily to size 40-41 foot – and they might be too big for size 38. If I knew this I would have probably picked 2-2.25 mm needles for these.

lovely! I just used this exact same yarn for a pair of ‘through the loops’ socks and wanted to warn you that it felts very easily! Definately a cool handwash only…

I have some of that yarn in my stash and have been a bit wary of it after hearing reports of it felting despite gentle handwashing – one blogger I seem to remember had socks which felted on her feet (before they were washed). I can’t work out how they could continue to sell it as sock yarn though if this is actually what it’s like – maybe there was a dodgy batch? Looking forward to hearing how your beautiful socks hold up
