No socks I have knit from Opal yarn have ever worn out in spite of machine washing and drying over several years. Colors may mellow a bit, but the yarn makes great everyday socks. I especially like the 6-ply because they work up faster.

Project name is tag line for an old-time local Philly TV commercial for a car dealership.
