Has anyone tried the new Capretta cashmere blend for socks? http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Capretta_Yarn__D5420216.html Do you think it will wear well with the nylon? I don't know why I'm thinking this yarn would be too fragile for socks. Someone assure me? _________________ SK Rescue Site http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SKCafe

Considering that it is mostly wool,(80% merino, 10% cashmere,nylon), one would think it should wear well. That being said I have not tried it yet, but would like to try it someday. Sometimes I think it also depends on how tightly spun the yarn is, the tighter the twist the better it holds up is my understanding. If you try it let us know how it handles and how you like knitting with it. Didn't notice the nylon in it and that should make it hold better still. _________________ needleq Ravelry: NeedleQ
