This is a super-soft sock base with an exquisite twist. The fibres shine, and the yarn looks wonderful in the skein. This sucks up colour, speckles really well and it works for glazing techniques. In the round, we knitted it on a 2.25mm needle, but you could actually go down to 2mm for a really dense sock fabric. This would work for accessories, garments and anything you can think of. It would make brilliant baby garments as it has the softness combined with strength and washability.
