Skeins are now balls. No knots!
Since their tags indicate hand-wash, I will assume the yarn isn’t Superwash treated. When completed, this is going to the first person who likes it!

Oops! 23 wpi!! Yikes! I guess a US 3 won’t be too fine after all. I doubt I’ll ever visit China again, but I would love to see someone there knitting this thin yarn into socks!

The thinnest I ever knit before this was Kroy Sock … which Ravelry says is 14wpi.

Managing tension with such thin yarn is AWFUL! It’s taken me until the ninth row of the pattern to figure out that my usual two wraps around my left index with the yarn then trailing loosely between the ring and pinky fingers just isn’t enough. Stitches too loose and just wonky!
So, I’m now adding a wrap around the pinky.

Given to Ginette to complete and KEEP!

I don’t enjoy knitting with such thin yarn! She does, so it’s hers!
