I'm hoping a blog reader has experience with socks made from a yarn like this one.
Yes, winter is on its way--we may have snow over the weekend or by the beginning of the week. I'm not much of a winter person. I love looking at snowy landscapes, but I hate driving on snowy or icy roads--kind of a big deal with a 135+ mile commute. (Of course, if I worked really close to home and/or could just stay home and bake cookies, make quilts, and knit, I'd probably like winter a lot better!)

out of a skein of KnitPick's Gloss fingering yarn that I bought undyed and colored myself with several packets of lemonade ! They wear just like my other socks with and without the nylon, and I have had no trouble with them. It wasn't my favorite yarn while I was working with it......I don't think it's as soft as some of the other yarns I've used,......but the socks wear just great.
Hope this helps ! I wish I could get myself back into a sock-knitting groove.......I still have several nice skeins of yarn.
If you like wool and nylon, you should like wool and silk just as well. Nylon is added to sock yarn for wear/strength. Silk would add that wear/strength and is much prettier than nylon. While I've never used this particular yarn, I've used many wool/silk blends for handknit socks and love them. The only problem I've had with Knit Picks yarn in general is that is seems to have less twist than other sock yarns and pills easier in the finished product.
