Review on ๐Ÿงฆ Stay Stylish and Warm: Patons Kroy Socks FX Yarn, 2-Pack in Deep Sea Colors - Includes Pattern! by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great yarn with a few caveats.

Excellent yarn. You should know that I received ONLY two balls of yarn. NO template included. So if you need a pattern, you have to find it yourself. It just so happens I don't really need a pattern because I wrote my own pattern and don't need it. I've used this brand before and the amount you get is meager. I used to get a sock from each one, but this time I had almost NO yarn two inches from the toe! I ended up ripping out most of the sock from top to bottom to shorten my leg so I could pull out a whole sock and I approached the sock feeling like I was playing yarn chicken. I'll be lucky if I have enough to finish my toe. I wear 8-1/2 or 9 shoes and as this is about average you will need an extra skein of yarn if you have small feet or don't want to wear legless socks. Also, on my computer the photo looked like it was mostly dark blue with hints of mustard yellow showing through in places. The actual color was mostly turquoise with a hint of lemon green. I was an artist before computers were used for art and I am aware of the differences between photographs and how they appear on computers, but there was a poor match between what they looked like and what you see. receive.
