Sock yarn suggestions?
Hi all,
So, my sockapaloooza pal has a preference for vintage style calf-length socks (I'd better start today, the way I knit!) and said that anything with "brazil" in a yarn's name makes her run away. I don't quite get that last comment, but she has another language besides English as her first, so maybe it doesn't translate? Also, she can't wear artificial fibers...any suggestions on a yarn? I wouldn't mind using something a little thicker than the koigu so I can finish before the May deadline!
Thanks for your help...

I have a pattern in one of my noro books that uses silk garden and cashmerino that looks really nice.

Great idea. Noelle, can you bring that pattern to SnB this week for me to take a looksie?
She likes green, but not brownish green, red, but not pink...so I was thinking of the red STR with a simple cable...May have to pick up the Nancy Bush book on old style socks, too.

Toasty Toes is another nice yarn. It's 100% superwash wool, it's soft, I usually use size 4 needles and it knits up fast... On DPN's, I can get a sock done in a few days :-)
