One is here: https://www.loveknitting.com/us/lana-grossa-meilenweit-8-fach-100-print. This is a lovely yarn - I'm very happy with the one pair I have made - it is about the weight of the Cascade 220. To get more color selection I just ordered some more from Germany - cost about the same with shipping (I am buying 2-100 gm balls) as it did from Love Knitting. Google the name of the yarn. Skandinavia Grundl is another worsted weight sock yarn - you can occasionally find it on eBay. It is heavier than the Lana Grossa.<br />Jane AtkinsonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175343380849351654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-1355640273890655382017-02-25T07:54:31.419-06:002017-02-25T07:54:31.419-06:00Kath!

However, without the nylon the socks were not as strong, and the heel gave out in a short time. Since worsted weight is hard to find with 25% nylon, do you think it would be possible to knit two strands of superwash sock yarn?Kathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-18118358134032192872017-01-28T07:11:49.411-06:002017-01-28T07:11:49.411-06:00Devon, You have 44 sts total.

I'm about to start the toe and am a little confused about how many stitches are on each needle, and which part of the sock corresponds with which needle. I imagine I switched around needles at some point so any detail you can provide would help! Thanks so much.
