Here's the pic of the four yarns I have that would possibly be manly enough to make socks for Shawn.
From left to right: Opal Masterpiece #3701, Opal Masterpiece #3706, Opal Mosaik #1114, & Fortissima #9094
I'd love to here opinions on what you all would think about manly sock yarn. This is where I would make an exception to my yarn diet, to buy some to make socks for Shawn since most of my yarn is stuff I know he wouldn't wear. Yardage isn't much of an issue since Shawn likes ankle socks.

Either one of the two middle ones would work although it would depend on whether he likes darker colors or not. Just finished a pair of Horcrux sox for DH in KP Memories Cape Cod colorway and they are very manly. He loves them. But Cape Cod is darker colors w/occasional tan stripe. It looked somewhat preppy at first, but worked up really nice.
ReplyDeleteHe'll also probably like anything you make, because YOU made it. Good luck with making a choice.
Put me down for 3706.
ReplyDeletehhmmm I think the Opal Mosaic or Fortissima for a man's socks.
ReplyDeleteHey, if you want, I can take pics of what I have for manley socks and we could trade!? That way you don't go off your yarn diet!
My vote is for the Mosaik :-)
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is wonderful and would wear any of those colors. The two in the middle knit up "manly".
