I purchased this Yann to gift a pair of socks to my husband. I loved knitting with this fiber, the ultimate test will be when he will wear them and caring for them since it’s not very conventionnal for people today to handwash and flat dry a pair of socks. I will be crossing my fingers that I will be able to keep them from our hamper. My biggest hope is they will be warm enough for the cold season. I used 3MM needles to have a satisfactory to me outcome (smiller than recommended) and ended up having to purchase a second sein.
