Hand painted sock blank, in pink and grey.
Yarn: Platinum Sock, Double Stranded Sock Blank

Length: 425m per 100g (each strand is approx 212m)
You can knit directly from the blank. The ends are readily available. Owing to the blank's double knitted, or two-strand construction, it can be used to knit socks that will be identical in colour and appearance. You could knit two at a time, avoiding the deadly second sock-itis, or you can divide the blank into two 50g balls. But if you want identical socks, make sure you start both from the same end of the blank.
