Oh Yes I have an Opinion..

 My sock knitting is progressing.

I spent yesterday knitting two heel flaps and turning the two heels. 

I'm very content. 

I ordered some Cherry Tree Hill Sock yarn last week. 

I'd like to knit a pair of socks for my sister for Christmas. 

When I've managed some swaps years ago, I got to see so many different sock yarn skeins.

I cannot get Cherry Tree here so I have to order it. 

I remember loving it. 

 

Here are my sock yarn thoughts:

Regia is too harsh on the feet and has little give to it.
If You want to be entertained, however, it has great fair isle patterning. 

Socks that Rock are too big a gauge for my liking. 

Their colorways have great names.

They make it too difficult to get a skein. 

 I don't want to JOIN a club to get my yarn.

Koigu is not sold as sock yarn, but it makes a great sock yarn.
I've found you can wash and dry it in the machine and it doesnt felt. 

I hope Knitpicks has improved their sock yarn line.

In the way past, I knit their washable wool and it felted...

Lorna's Laces

is pretty much sock yarn perfection. 

It has that great give and bounce to each stitch.

I haven't tried the WISDOM sock that sweet Judy gifted me yet.

I haven't tried Noro sock. 

It just looks too much like string.
Looks like it has no bounce.

I love how it works up from the store samples, but not enough to try it. 

Trekking held such alure for me.

Until I knit with it. 

Again, no real bounce and my joints need that give.

What are your sock yarn thoughts?

Please?
