I used Shelridge Farm’s Soft Touch Ultra, the Winter Forest colorway.

Here are the stats on the yarn. 100% wool, (I suspect merino) 3-ply fingering weight, hand-dyed, 175 yds/50 gm. I got the yarn from Ellen, at earth faire.

They came out fraternal, most likely because of the yarn being hand-dyed. But I like the way they look and will definitely make more socks with this yarn in other colors. The yarn is wonderfully soft and silky.

The socks took 2 skeins, at $8.20 each, and I used “Basketweave Ribbing Pattern” on the cuffs, which I got from one of the Barbara Walker Dictionaries.
