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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Gorgeous socks from a ball!

I love this yarn! Start with 1x1 rib knit "cuff", then the pattern begins on the leg, when the solid color ends, knit 2 circles, then start on the heel. If you follow the instructions on their YouTube video, the heel will use the heel amount correctly, but if you change the number of stitches cast on or change your favorite heel, you will run out of heel yarn and start with pattern yarn (but who the hell will see that part of the heel is on the sole of the foot?). Continue with the foot section of the sock, the toe is very long but there is plenty of extra yarn for longer feet. Yarn design pattern only works for top down socks. Arne and Carlos showed what it looks like when you try to start replenishing on YouTube. I really like this yarn, I bought MANY different colors. I'm on my 3rd pair and will start my 4th pair today for Christmas. My favorite heel is the delayed heel, but I've tried different heels on each skein/skein of her colorful yarn. You will enjoy watching the color change of all color schemes, every pattern is different. I used to hate knitting socks, but Arne & Carlos yarn design made me love them and it's surprisingly quick. Oh one downside is the yarn might be a little uncomfortable for your regular shoes but should work for trainers or SAS shoes. In normal shoes I had to go half a size bigger. KNIT as Elizabeth Zimmerman would say on her TV shows and videos.
