Hawthorne Pink Merino Wool Sock Yarn for Knitting

This yarn works up really nicely and wears well. Ive knit two pair with Knit Picks Hawthorne (colorways Arleta and Poppy Field Tonal) and I just love the look of them. The variegation isn’t too extreme, but for me patterns get lost a bit so just let them shine on vanilla socks.

Made nice socks, nice colors, worked up nicely.

Yeah, screen color rarely works as you expect. Yarn was far more orange than desired. Great yarn, but I won't be using it for myself.

First, I gave it 4 stars because it's a lovely, soft yarn to work with but there are a few things that are a bit of a problem. I bought this color, Macadam, and the color Skyline thinking that they would contrast but as you can see in the picture they are practically the same. Macadam has some black in it but the green tones match Skyline. In the Amazon picture Skyline looks much lighter and Macadam looks much darker. When it arrived it smelled heavily of dye and after knitting 1/2 the skein of Skyline and the whole skein of Macadam (I bought 2 skeins) my bamboo knitting needles are stained green. I haven't wet blocked it yet so I can't confirm that it will run but I think it's pretty likely. Again, I didn't return it because it is very nice yarn I just thought the above is good info to know.

Beautiful and color is a tad brighter than pictured

Beautiful colors.More strong than soft.Easy to use.Frogs without snagging.Good quality!

Pretty yarn, but it doesn’t work for me because it isn’t able to be wound in a ball if you don’t buy it at the store.

I purchased a multitude of sock yarn and this is best by far. Mostly because it always looks the same. This is the only yarn I use these days because it never produces hair balls and looks like I just made them. The pair in the picture I made 3 months ago and they still look good. I've been buying this yarn and storing it away because it seems all yarn manufacturers discontinue their yarn. And I want to make sure I can continue to make socks. Unfortunately one skein only makes one pair of socks, but if you make a contracting heel or cuff, you'll have plenty for two pairs of socks. This is very soft and always looks good.

Lovely yarn, good colours. This yarn arrived promptly thank you.

Knit my first pair of socks with this yarn. It’s lovely to use and softens beautifully when you was them Really happy with this brand
