I came across this handspun cotton/wool blend the other day. Can't even remember how long ago I made it. I didn't think there was enough for a pair of socks, so I opted for some footies to scuff around the house in. Of course, I misjudged the amount of yarn and now I still have some left to stick in the stash of yarn bits. I hate when that happens. Not that thrilled with these either. They started out to be lacy on top but the thick and thin nature of the handspun made the lace look kind of odd. Looking at this picture, they look sort of short and fat, but they do fit. The cotton/wool for these is good, though. Should wear well and they won't felt if I run them through the washer and dryer.
