TREKKING (XXL)
by Zitron Yarns

One of the highest quality sock yarns available today, Zitron's Trekking XXL is a staple among sock knitters. Zitron's Trekking sock yarn collection has quickly become one of the most popular European options, and "Trekking XXL" is often thought of as the benchmark for them all & a well-respected superstar. A terrific, self-patterning, multi-colored wool blend, one generous ball will make a pair of adult socks. And this great yarn is also available in Tweeds. The rich colors, subtle striping and soft hand have made this sock yarn a hit with knitters. Great also for wristlets, fine scarves, shawls, or anything else that requires a fingering weight yarn. Sensationally crafted in Germany of 75% wool & 25% nylon. 459 yds/100g per ball. Uses size 2-3 needles.

Magnificent Mittens & Socks: The Beauty of Warm Hands and Feet
by Anna Zilboorg

The new, revised edition of Magnificent Mittens & Socks includes directions for working socks. Anna's toe-up, free-sole sock design works with all those beautiful color patterns: stranded patterning on the top of the foot and a reinforced sole. This practical approach avoids the inelasticity of most stranded, color-patterned socks and solves the problem of too much work for too little wear. Now your socks can be as magnificent as your mittens! Fully illustrated with full color photography and easy-to-follow knitting pattern diagrams, Magnificent Mittens & Socks lives up to its title with 42 charted mittens, interchangeable cuff charts, 13 edge finishes for cuffs, 7 embellishments for color and texture, linings, dye recipes for mitten colors, detailed instructions for socks using mitten charts, and more. An excellent resource for knitters of all skill and experience levels, highly recommended.
