This is an interesting yarn

this is an interesting yarn. The colour changes are short, so the stripes, (such as they are) are usually only one round, or even less. There are a couple of places where a colour repeats itself from round to round, but not because the repeat is long enough to come around on itself, but because they're so short.

This is not complaining - this is really an observation about how a yarn behaves. However, it is a little difficult to predict what the sock will look like, so that will have to wait.

I don't think I would like this yarn with this colourway for a heavily patterned sock - the quick repeats would hide any kind of delicate (or even not-so-delicate) lace or cables.
