2014 Socks #2 finished!

I’m a bit hard on the toes of socks and these socks are 100% wool.   So I added a thin strand of 75% wool, 25% nylon along with the yarn I’m using, which will increase the wearing time on them.  It does make the toes a bit thicker.

This thin stranded yarn is made to add to toes and heels to prolong their wearability and can be obtained at knitting stores.

You can see how thin it is compared to the yarn I’m using
