The Sock Striping is a recent invention by some really talented knitters. This technique allows for you to make your own custom sized fashion socks, just as if you were shopping at a factory outlet store to buy socks! The self-striping yarn is made from a wool blend that has the properties of cotton batting with the added ability to stretch when washed. It is very similar to Lace Weight but it has more elasticity than cotton wool. This makes the sock more pliable and allows for the knitter to create the ultimate fashion statement!
These yarns are available in many different colors, patterns and thread types. They can be used for knitting socks, knitting caps or any other project you can imagine! You can use these socks over again as there is no end to where you can put them. There are many ways to use them such as: create a scarf, a stocking, a hat, a bib and more! The versatility of these yarns make them an all around winner!
When purchasing this type of handmade sock yarn you will find that it is available in many different stores online and in most regular stores in your local area. Many times you can even find discounts on these wool yarns because they are so popular. You may have to order a couple of pounds at a time to keep up with the demand from your family and friends. Once you start using these wool strips you won’t want to stop and will likely start collecting these wool yarns for yourself and your family!
