@woolhour Yes, a firm gauge (maybe 15% more sts/in than the ball band states) plus nylon gives you long-wearing socks. I have many, many pairs that are 10-15 years old.

@woolhour It's Plymouth Select Worsted Merino Superwash. It's a nice round yarn, which is great for stitch definition. It'll likely go to my almost-2 yr old grandniece, so needed to be machine washable. (I usually prefer non-superwash wool.)

@woolhour Working on a toddler sweater that I will use for several upcoming YT tutorials. Modified a std bottom up seamless raglan to incl traveling twisted sts in the front panel. Swatch on the left was to estab gauge for the front panel, as most of the sweater will be in st st. #woolhour

@woolhour And I managed to re-do the initials before woolhour was over! #woolhour

@woolhour Sewing my initials onto this 1890 replica stocking in beads. This is the in-progress photo in which I discovered my initials are on a slope. Took them all out and starting over using some colored thread to create guidelines. #woolhour

@woolhour It's only 4 oz, so maybe a hat? I'm working on my long draw technique, trying to spin fine enough to get a 3-ply that isn't a bulky weight (I don't care for 2-ply yarns). #woolhour

@woolhour I'm spinning up some WAM roving (wool, alpaca, mohair) that I picked up this weekend at the farmer's market.

@hankgreen The main reason I *haven't* moved to Threads is because there is no desktop option.

@woolhour Latest stocking to understand the evolution of hand knit stockings. A reproduction of a friend's great-gma's stocking, knit in 1890. She used cotton, knit at 12 sts/in. I'm using wool at 9 sts/in. Dbl decs on the sole. Top of the cuff will be hemmed, encasing a ribbon.
