I love CoBaSi sock yarn and have made several pairs of socks with it. The only quibble I have is if I have to TINK or, heaven forbid, rip, the strands make it difficult to remount on the needles.I bought this yarn for the Skacel Summertime Flip Floppers KAL. I'm loving the way the color pattern is revealed, a little blue, a little green ,and a little gray. The pattern reminds me of the waves in Seattle Sound!
