Lumbering Jack

The yarn used is Pure Wool by Stylecraft. 260 mtrs per 100gm (240yds). The colour is called Rustic and the number is 3560. I love the colour so I bought a ball. Unfortunately, I had to buy another 100 grams ball as the first sock weighed 60gms. I knit using HiyaHiya 2.75mm circular. The gauge was 30sts and 40rws to 10cms. or 7.5spi to 10rpi.
I used the Andersson Heel again, knit toe up.

Your sweaters are always stunning. The patterning is lovely as is the color. Of course, your socks are wonderful too!

As always a beautiful sock. Love the color. I can't believe the first sock was 60 grams.

Great socks Colin, love the colours and that heel should be patented!
I dream of making socks, I have promised my brother a will do him some....oh oh-now I how did I go and do that! Every time he calls not he asks if I have started his socks.
I will, I will.
