Do you enjoy wearing soft, warm socks all over your feet? Many people do! When it’s cold as heck outside and the wind is blowing, nothing is better to wear than a pair of hand knitted socks to keep your toes warm and toasty. Picture coming home to a chilly day and putting on some cozy warm socks. It feels fantastic, right? Instructions For Making Socks What Makes These Handmade Socks Even More Special Is The Yarn They're Made With!
Not all yarns are created equal when it comes to sock making, and that’s good to know. What this means is that you need to pick yarn that is at once strong and soft. It should also stretch so it fits your feet the way it should and it’s comfortable. Eheng offers really nice options for sock knitting. They have yarns that have wool, nylon and even cashmere blended in them, which is such a high-end type of yarn that is incredibly soft and feels luxurious.

The durability of the socks is something to consider when choosing yarn for your socks. You don’t want them to wear out quickly, even after you wear them a ton. This is where nylon comes in! Nylon is a strong material that adds durability, so the socks maintain their shape through all the laundry-day cycles. But you also want to consider what the yarn feels like against your skin. That is why wool is a nice option as well! Merino wool is a popular choice for sock yarn because it is special. It wicks away moisture and keeps your feet warm, which is ideal for chillier days.

If you want something special or you're feeling fancy, Eheng sells some delightful sock yarns that have cashmere or silk in them. This type of yarn makes your socks feel so soft and luxurious! Just remember, these fancy yarns are awesome, but maybe not as strong as the wool and nylon blends, so save these for special occasions. You can wear them to a party or a special occasion that you want to look good for!

Try as you might, you can't knit just one pair of socks: the variety of colors and patterns in sock yarn are endless! Eheng stocks both solid colors, which are single colors, and variegated yarns, which have multiple colors combined to create a fun look. Decide what the socks you want to make are. Are you looking for a classic plain color that you can wear every day, or a colorful pattern that adds a touch of pizzazz and excitement?
