Review on Arne & Carlos Summer Regia Pairfect Design Line 4-Ply Sock Yarn (9137) by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Yarn for socks with a beautiful pattern

This is my first time using the Regia Pairfect and it won't be my last. I avoided knitting cuff socks because I hate the Kitchener stitch so much. However, I'm glad I bit the bullet with this one. I think it's great that the socks fit perfectly. I like that I know exactly when to finish the cuff, when to start the heel. Note that this yarn is very sticky; just loves each other. As a result, the yarn may inevitably break (when using the center pull method) as the yarn gets caught deep in the ball, is taut and won't let go. Vomiting yarn doesn't bother me at all, neither does tangles. About halfway through the second sock, loosening the skein at that point caused this to happen so regularly that I decided to rewind the ball from the outside to fix the problem. With most center pulled strands, there comes a time when the strand becomes too loose and flexible and I decide to rewind it before the end of the project; With that, he needed to rewind it a bit earlier than I usually do, but it really wasn't a problem.

Pros
  • Yarn count: 2; Length: 420 m / 459 yds
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
