This collection of sock patterns was inspired by the superabundance of wild new sock yarns, which knit to gauges of 6.5 to 9 stitches per inch. These yarns offer far more color variety within a single filament of yarn than knitters — unless they are hand spinners or artful dyers — have previously experienced. The book is filled with tips, techniques, and suggestions.
