Self Striping Blue Socks

Another single skein of sock yarn used up after adding a coordinating solid for the heels and toes. 


I was just throwing together what I had, so it was a pleasant surprise that the heels and toes go so well with the darkest stripes in the body of the socks. The ball band is gone, so I don't know what the yarn is, just that I probably bought it at the craft store ten years or so ago....when I thought knitting socks for little boys was a good plan.

  1. Hi Michelle! I know exactly what yarn that is, because I'm using it right now to knit a sock--even the same colorway. It's Sensations "Soles & More" and it's 75% wool and 25% nylon. It says here on the label it's distributed by Jo-Ann Stores, mine is dated 2008, and it's made in Turkey. On Ravelry, I found the information that it's discontinued, it washes very well, and gets softer each time you wash it. Hope that helps!

  4. Michelle, I'm wondering if you received my e-mail about a Paula Vaughn kit.
