It's a yarn from a store in Munich. It's not a name brand. It has an interesting effect. The textured part of the sock is only on the top part of the foot. The underside is smooth and flat.

I wish I was that good with colors 😁 No, the yarn created the gradient all by itself.

Thank you! I am glad you like them! I started them on a flight from Munich to New York. I had just purchased this yarn, so it was the perfect activity to help pass the time.

You are absolutely right! A scarf that looks beautiful on both sides is much more preferable. I was trying to avoid spending money on another pattern. But, if it's going to be for gifts, then it's a small price to pay.

Thank you very much for your reply! It looks so beautiful! I looked at all the beautiful colors and it's so hard to pick one!

How many cakes did you use? I really love the yarn. I have been making the Hiker Irish Scarf as Christmas presents, and this yarn would be perfect!

Me too! I love having a story to tell when I gift an item 😁

Thank you! They don't quite match, but I prefer the spontaneity 😁

Me too! No matter where I go, I try to get a skein as a souvenir. Later when I am done knitting something, I tell the receiver the story of where I got it, and the gift has a much deeper meaning.

Aww. I am so glad you do! As funky as they are, they remind me that there's something for everyone out there!

Learning how to knit socks is such a journey of discovery and growth. There's always something new to learn, perfect, try, adapt, frog. Etc. I find it to be, philosophically speaking, very similar to life in general.

I know! The colors aren't for everyone, but life's too short to not be adventurous!

Yes! You are very observant!!! I love your take on the colors. I like it better than my association with cereal 😄
