While I can't knit socks, I have found that the pattern may vary slightly due to different batches of dye, manufacture and production, and needle size and tension. I would knit with but the yarn I have is SIGNIFICANTLY different from the photo, the colored stripes are much longer in some places and what I get is basically a striped pattern, not at all what it should look like. I sewed it twice and tried 2 different needle sizes to see if I could adjust the pattern and nothing would make it look like the photo because the thread color is wrong. Unfortunately I ordered more because I thought I would love it and I'm really not happy with the result.
