Lace Yarns > Sock Yarns > Claudia Handpaints Claudia Handpaints This 100% merino wool yarn, like Koigu, is popular for shawls, stoles, scarves & socks. And for those of you who enjoy knitting at a fingering gauge (7 sts/inch) it makes a great sweater too. It does not felt, that's why its good for socks. The hat (1 sk) and kimono style jacket shown below illustrate how it knits up in mitered squares. The tie on the left shows it knit in stockinette stitch. The lace wristlets shown far right used 2 sks and combind knitting and crochet (pattern by Ellen Warren). Lots of great colors to choose from and terrific yardage per skein : 180 yds. $12.50/ball The hat and tie patterns can be purchased below.
