"Luxury Sock" in the Crocuses colorway, from the new Loops & Threads line of yarns from Michaels. Has anyone tried it? It's either so new that it isn't on the website yet, or they are being really quiet about it. The URL on the ballband leads to a page that is spectacularly uninformative.
This sock yarn is a 60% merino superwash, 30% nylon, 10% cashmere blend -- very fine, very soft. I was rather dismayed to read the fine print when I got it home, that says "hand wash only", as I am really not into handwashing socks -- I had assumed from the superwash and nylon content that it would be machine-washable.
The ballband gauge is 32 sts on 2.75mm/US2 -- I am getting that but on 2mm needles (I generally have to go down one size needles, though).
This was the most sedate colorway, by the way! And no solids...
