handspun socks!
I'm so proud! I'm knitting socks from my handspun yarn!
It's a single yarn, and since I did nothing to set the twist, it's also knitting with an "energized single". It worked better than I had expected. This is "Eiderwolle", dyed with easter-egg-colors, And then spun with a worsted short draw into a single.
Noro does it, Schoppel Zauberballs are single sock yarns, so why should I not?
The fiber is rather rough and strong and I think the socks will be durable enough. I reenforced the heel using commercial sock yarn, though.
