Color: Solid/Nearly Solid
There are many reasons to knit with solid or nearly solid colored sock yarns. Perhaps you’re knitting for a conservative sock-wearer and don’t want to shock them when they open the gift box! Maybe you’re knitting for a guy (because guys are notorious for wanting ’subtle’ sock colors). Many times, knitters who love knitting complicated lace patterns on the cuff love the solid/nearly solid colors because these show the pattern variations more clearly. (And really - if you’re going to knit beautiful patterns, then you want to make sure they show up well!) Here are links to the solids/nearly solids that we currently stock at The Loopy Ewe:
