Self-striping sock yarn

#1

Before I go off half-cocked and start buying sock yarn that I know zip, zero, nada about, I thought I would ask the experts what they consider to be their favorite self-striping sock yarn.

I’m not much of an expert on knitting socks but I like Opal self striping sock yarn.

I like regia for stripes. It is not a “luxurious” yarn, but it has a zillion different colors/patterns and is pretty inexpensive. It also washes and dries wonderfully.

i dont really know, but i like Mark & Kattens Clowns Sock Yarn in colorway 1722.

I’m just starting to get into socks, but I am using Trekking XXL and I like it.

Is this a wool sock yarn? or is it acrylic? cotton? I am allergic to wool but would love to get some really nice sock yarn. Where did you get it from? TIA.

I’m using Regia for my first pair – it was recommended by my LYS owner because it’s not too stretchy. It’s 75% superwash wool and 25% polymid. (I don’t know what polymid is). But I did another 4 rounds today and will work more of my first socks tomorrow. The colors are great, by Kaffe Fassett. I’m using colorway “mirage”.
