Laines du Nord Optical Socks
Socks that are done before you get bored.
Optical Socks is a DK weight sock yarn, a step up from the usual fingering weight. At 22 stitches to 4", you've got fewer stitches per round and a pair that moves along nicely.
New to socks? This is what we recommend for your first pair. Bigger stitches are easier to read, easier to fix, and a lot less fiddly on the needles.
The self-striping colors do the work for you. Bold stripes shift just often enough to keep you saying "one more stripe." 437 yards in a 150 gram ball knits two matching socks. Made in Italy, in 6 fun colorways.
Your first pair of socks shouldn't take all winter.
