After I dyed it, it became super-soft, lustrous, and generally amazing. It's not that I want to horde all of this wonderful yarn ALL to myself, I'm looking out for you. Do you really need more sock yarn?

You get exactly what you pay for with this yarn. It is not particularly soft and has quite a lot of guard hair. It also has light debris. I would definitely not use this...Read complete review
You get exactly what you pay for with this yarn. It is not particularly soft and has quite a lot of guard hair. It also has light debris. I would definitely not use this for anything worn next to the skin besides socks. That said, the yarn provides great stitch definition, is not splitty when knit, and dyes well.

Comments about Valley Yarns Franklin Natural Cones:
This turns out soft and sturdy for baby items and lace items that will have to endure machine washing. Socks as well.
It's much softer and bloomier after washing.

Comments about Valley Yarns Franklin Natural Cones:
As someone said previously... you will find yourself buying triple the amount once your first cone is dwindling.
It's a great price and takes dye readily. I was unsure of the handfeel before washing, but was delightfully surprised once washed and blocked.
I hope to be ordering several more pounds soon. Thank you for providing an affordable and VERY nice sock weight yarn.
