Sapling Sock (75% wool, 25% nylon)

Sapling Sock is a fingering weight yarn; it is 75% superwash Merino and 25% nylon.  It is sourced from farms where "mulesing" - an inhumane method of raising sheep - is not practiced. This yarn is hand dyed in small batches, so each batch may be a little bit different, and we recommend buying all of the yarn you need for a project at one time.  We also suggest alternating skeins when knitting projects. *** Note: Cedar House Yarns has stopped dyeing yarn, so when it's gone, it's gone.*** Sapling Sock has excellent elasticity, stitch definition, and a soft drape.  It is a good choice for socks, shawls, and other warmer weather projects. YARDAGE:  100 gm skein containing approximately 423 m/463 yds. KNIT GAUGE:  28 sts & 42 rows = 10 cm/4 in, using 2.75 mm (US 2) needles in stockinette stitch.
