I knit a scarf out of sock yarn because the yarn felt so soft and I was afraid it would wear out in no time if I actually used it according to the label.

But I kept wondering. Maybe I could use it for a pair of really, really soft and cosy socks as well?

I used some of the leftovers to darn the heels of another pair of socks. Those patches are all fuzz and lint now. The yarn is too loosely spun so it doesn’t even wear through. Rather it slowly unravels and falls apart.

I no longer wonder. This would be a terrible yarn for socks.
