Fingering weight yarn is held double throughout to create a warm and squishy fabric. These could also be knit using a single strand of Sport or DK weight yarn. I’ve used the beautiful Exmoor Sock Yarn from John Arbon to knit these delightfully cozy socks. I used 2 skeins of Mizzle, and one skein each of Dimity and Whortleberries. If you choose to add length I would suggest a third skein of Mizzle, or of course you could use a contrasting color for the toe!
