PatonsKroy Socks Yarn - (1) Gauge - 1.75 oz - Woodsie Woodsie - For Crochet, Knitting & Crafting

I really liked this yarn. I'm new to sock knitting and I found it really easy to work with. The pattern was consistent between balls and the colors were bright and pretty. They also wash really well without shrinking or fraying at all.

Nice yarn. No splitting. Knots up quite nicely. Easy to work with. I used a 2.25 mm needle but next time I will use a 2.50.

I've used Patons Kroy for dozens of pairs of socks with no problems, but this last skein is a real lemon. I've used less than 1/4 of the skein and already had 3 knotted joins and a bad spot. Hoping it's not a trend. I didn't have time to reorder, or would have sent it back!

I purchased this on Amazon because I really wanted this specific color. I am new to knitting and I was attempting to make bbay leggings. These colors in this self-striping yarn I felt were a fun way to jump into Spring for a little girl. I made my daughter some cute leggings as a begginner knitter with this yarn.

My only knock on this is that I ordered two skeins at the same time and the dye lots don't match. Visually they look ok, but the stripes are a tiny bit longer on one skein that on the other, so while I started my socks in the same place on both skein, I have now turned the heel and the socks are one whole stripe off from each other. The intended recipient won't care, but if I go to the effort of trying to make them match, I would appreciate if they did. It's nothing to do with the yarn itself, but more to do with the seller not sending me matching dye lots.

I had posted previously that this was just regular weight yarn. I had to complete my knitting before it became apparent that this is actually a lighter weight yarn. It makes a really nice sock. Over nine bucks is still spendy for yarn and that is going to make this a $60 pair of socks but Kroy wears really well so maybe I will make up for the price by longevity.

Wonderful yarn to work with. The stripes are wide so look different than the usual sock yarn. Colors are great. Not a lot of yardage so to make a pair of socks you need 2 skeins. Good price.

The color is nice and it is self striping. But when you’re trying to knit socks the yarn is difficult to work with and splits constantly. Probably won’t buy again.
