Opal 75% wool and 25% silk yarn. Dutch heel used. 2mm for the ribbing and 2.25mm for the body. I really like the feel of this yarn. Wearing them now.
The yarn is 96% wool and 4% lycra. 2/24 used double. Made for a very heavy sweater! Almost 1kg(2.2lbs). I used N/N for hems. The main body uses tech 180 but with lock at set to FX and pushers in 1up 1 down formation.
This is the beckband on the FX sweater. I prefer the neckband on the sweater below. The sweater below was done using just one strand of same yarn and using a tuck stich pattern in the console.

I will finish my dearest's shirt before our 16th wedding anniversary on Thursday and get back to knitting, I will! It's turned cold here, the leaves are all golden, red and brown and your socks are giving me sock envy.
Socks look great... The sweater is lovely too! Great colour. :)

Great socks. :-)
I've recently bought some of the Opal yarn that has bamboo fibre mixed into it. It feels lovely so I can't wait to knit some socks with it. I just hope they look as good as yours!
