And it's purple!<br /><br />I bought a ball of the Kroy 4-ply at the Michael's in Sudbury (of all places) this weekend. I've only done about an inch, but so far I'm enjoying working with it.Kirsten N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09901124914258639144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17401386.post-33232535042123834202009-03-10T20:44:00.000-04:002009-03-10T20:44:00.000-04:00personally, i'm surprised that you have a pair of ...personally, i'm surprised that you have a pair of 15-year-old socks in great shape.mmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171993518904073082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17401386.post-64316005952808166702009-03-10T10:48:00.000-04:002009-03-10T10:48:00.000-04:00I LOVE your blue/black sock!When I heard the 3 ply...I LOVE your blue/black sock!<BR/>When I heard the 3 ply was disappearing, I had everyone I trusted buy up some. But now I have lots of dull, solid colours in my sock drawer. They also had a 4 ply version, and it's fustrating that the new Kroy is a totally different gauge than either of the old Kroys (it's smack dab in the middle, off by 2 sts either way, so I guess it's not too bad--I'm thinking the 3ply was 32, the 4 ply 28, and the new one is 30st---but I'd have to check).<BR/>Before Patons had the Kroy label, it was owned by Galt Knitting, I think. I have old books--either it was Galt or Monarch or Newlands--and I assume they were swallowed up by Patons. Many patterns used Kroy---whole dresses knitted at 8st/inch!!<BR/>LionBrand had a striping yarn several years ago that I thought was a sock yarn. Is there a new one?TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.com
