More sparkle...

The sparkle socks I was knitting myself are done and waiting for their world debut tucked away in my sock drawer.  

One of my friends is coming in from of town next month.   One of her favorite gifts is a pair of handknit socks.    Raggi has some nice worsted weight sparkly sock yarns.   This pair of socks will have pink sparkle on a range of cream, pink, and brown.

Raggi is currently hard to get in the US.  I am hoping that someone takes over the distributorship

Raggi Sock Yarn

from the folks who are retiring from the business.  Raggi is a truly wonderful yarn.  The colors (check out http://www.jarbo.se/en/artikel/raggi/ - this picture is from the that site) to see all that these folks do with socks....from plain to snazzy.   The colors in this version are great.  The picture doesn't show the dark pink lurex that gives this colorway a nice bit of bling.

I have made socks from this yarn for a lot of people.  It has been my go to yarn for a long time.  I will miss it when my stockpile in the stash is depleted.

There are lighter versions of Raggi also.  I have some of the finer version but have yet to knit it up.  It is resting in the stash until I get a chance to work on it.   The finer yarn will be used solely (HA!) for my feet.  I am looking forward to it.

If you can find a couple of skeins of Raggi, make yourself a pair of nice thick socks.  Your feet will bless you and your toes will sing your praises.
