I am really pleased with how these socks turned out! Okay, if I have this correct...Maryanne (from my local spin group) dyed this wool/nylon roving, which Traci (also in my local spin group) got in our holiday gift exchange. Traci spun it, then gave it to me to knit into socks (along with a whole beautiful load of other yarns to knit up - she is weaving me towels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in exchange!), and then I knit it into socks. What a collaborative effort, which is cool I think. :)
