While up at Estes Park today, I got asked "What is your favorite sock yarn?" My answer after a few seconds of thought was I don't have a favorite. It depends on the pattern, who it is for, and what I want at the time.
I have some favorite socks, such as my Spiraling Corilios socks out of Opal yarn. My Conwy Socks knit out of Lorna's Sheppard Socks were fun to knit and are really comfortable. I plan to make another pair some time. I have two pairs of Friday Harbor out of Bear Foote. I have made lots of socks and there are several yarns and patterns I would do again. I think color has more to do with what I pick than brand.
I do have two requirments for sock yarn that will be knit into socks, machine washable and some nylon or other tough fiber in the content. Socks have a hard life.
