I wasn't very happy with this yarn. I made the St. Peter Port Stripes from Folk Socks with Wildfoote Plain Vanilla, Black Orchid and Licorice Stick and yarn split a lot. And it just wasn't as nice to knit with as the Kroy. I machine wash and dry these socks, and they seem to be holding up well. I haven't used this yarn in about a year, though, and still have enough left over to make another pair, so maybe I'll give it another chance. I'll keep you posted.

DMum's favourite socks are made from Wildfoote. I had no trouble with splitting, but the yarn twisted terribly. I tried everything, taking it from the outside, from the inside, re-winding it, and it still twisted. But she loves them, and I am sure I will make her more.

It does split, and some colors do twist--but definitely worth the effort! Washes beautifully, gets beautifully soft, doesn't show wear, very easy to find, and reasonably priced. I love to use this with Blauband for color work; and it makes quite luxurious basic socks, too! Some colors are softer than others initially, by the way, but soften in washing nicely.

I find Wildfoote to be a reasonable priced yarn and the socks I've made with it have worn extremely well. Unfortunately it is quite loosely spun so I avoid the tweeds and just use the solid colors. Even still, it isn't my favorite yarn due to the splitting.

I was not impressed with the looks or feel of the finished product, nor did I particularly enjoy working with the yarn, but the recipient LOVES the socks, says they feel like silk on his feet and mold perfectly to the shape of his feet. So of course I'll be making more socks from this yarn.
