| This yarn is terrific for lace socks and it comes in great colors although it is slippery. Use bamboo needles when you knit with it or your stitches will be forever falling off the needles! I like it knitted with about a 2 or 3 (US) needle. I made a pair of lace socks with it and a pair of socks from one of the Socka pattern books in a slip stitched design with black and the incredibly bright rainbow colors. | |||
