Wool socks

mlazyj · Dec 2, 2011

Winter is here and I've turned over the stock of socks from light wool to heavy weights . I wear merino wool year round . The lite weight ones aren't to bad of price , but 70% plus wool heavy weight tall socks , you about got to go to the bank to afford a couple of pair .

We wear wool year round too. Solved alot of foot problems for us, especially my Mr. when he switched from cotton socks.

Dun, I had the same idea. I've tried knitting on several occasions, but I can't get the hang of it. I can crochet pretty well, but knitting eludes me. Of course, the proper yarn for socks is pretty expensive too.

I go through many pairs of wool socks and agree the price is out of this world. Can't live without them though so with Christmas coming up, we see lots of wool socks around here as presents. I have a friend that has a source that works for a shall remain nameless company that handed over about 2 dozen pair a couple of years ago, sadly most have been used beyond repair.
