Knitterly Things (Michigan), Vesper Sock US 1-3/B-D (2.25-3.25 mm) 7-8 stitches/inch 400 yards Fingering 80 percent superwash Merino, 20 percent nylon Sweet stripey goodness on US-sourced bases hand-dyed in Southeast Michigan! Julia Vesper’s self-striping colorways work up in cheerful five- to eight-color repeats that you might not want to hide under shoes. No one here is suggesting socks with articulated toes, but a hat isn’t out of the question. Hand or machine wash, gentle cycle, and lay flat to dry. Remember that hand-dyed skeins are created individually, in small batches. If you are making a larger garment, please consider alternating skeins every two rows or rounds if you want an appearance of overall consistency in your finished object.
