Yarn requirements (from pattern): 6 ounces (170 grams) of sportweight to fingering-weight yarn at about 13 wraps/inch. Claire used hand-painted Romney roving … to spin her two-ply yarn. We tested the pattern in a commercially spun, hand-dyed sportweight yarn.

Note: This book was published by Interweave Press as the outcome of a sock design contest in Spin Off magazine, using handspun yarns. Commercial yarn equivalents are given for most patterns.
