My first attempt at DK Weight Yarn Socks. Quick answer I LOVE them! The full story watch the Vlog…This Vlog is a bit all over the place which I explain why in the video hahaha.
I knit hats with leftover sock yarn combined with a fingering weight wool and it is such a lovely fabric. It would probably work out as great socks about dk weight. Great way to stash bust all those leftover sock yarns.
When I make house socks for friends. I use 2 strands of fingering held together. My gauge is loose so I knit with size 3 needles. Lots of times the socks are made from leftover yarns. Paton's sock yarns are favorites because they are hard wearing.
Thank you 😊 Aww that’s a bummer you can’t find a good DK yarn. I finally found DK yarn in the UK called the Woolly Mama Yarn that I ended up having shipped here to me in the USA. Maybe that would be an option for you!
Hey! Sorry for just responding I've been sick and am just finally getting better. This pattern is my one of my patterns that I finally just published today here is a link: ravel.me/squishy-and-cozy-spiral-socks In answer to your question about the yarn there is a difference between DK and Sport weight yarn. Sport weight is a little thinner then DK weight yarn. So if you did you use Sport weight yarn the socks should knit up a little bit smaller then my socks with the DK weight yarn. I hope that is helpful!
Hey! The yarn in this video is actually a mix of cotton and I think alpaca. I wouldn’t recommend it necessarily for socks. But it’s what I had on hand at the time. If you watch my other videos that are more recent that are DK weight yarn that is %100 wool and superwash. That I got online from Knit Picks. Over all I’m pretty happy with it. I’ve been actively trying to find DK yarn that has that little bit of nylon that most sock yarn has. But I’m not finding it easy to find. Hope that helps😊
