Made socks as gifts a year ago, and with heavy use they are still without holes! So made more socks this year. This yarn feels comfy to work with, like it just as well as Silk Paints (which has silk instead of nylon)...so I would pick either one based on color availability!

This is beautiful yarn and a dream to knit, but the socks I made for my squeeze pilled after ONE night's wear. Boo! It's a shame, because I love the yarn -- but the socks look like cat puke now.

This is a lovely yarn for making socks. This would also make a fine yarn for making gloves and even hats though it is a sock weight yarn. I really like the colors in this lot.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Heritage Paints:
I love this yarn, especially the beautiful color combinations and the slight sheen. For socks, one big plus is that the color changes are frequent -- so patterns, lace, etc., are not obscured or clash with the color periodicity (as they do with other sock yarns).

Comments about Cascade Yarns Heritage Paints:
I have branched out to shawls with sock yarns,and find the colors in this yarn are wonderful for lacy shawls. Blocks beautifully and has a lovely drape. My only complaint is that several colorways are backordered.
