Yet another yarn question…
So, I’m looking at some sock yarn here, and the description reads “100 yds relaxed or 186 yds stretched/ 50 gram ball.”
Um…I don’t know what that means. I mean I do know the difference between stretched and relaxed yarn, but, I’m confused. If I’m making socks, won’t I knit with the yarn relaxed? Or not? I just don’t know how much yarn to order, and now I’m not quite sure how I’m supposed to knit with it (mostly relaxed, mostly stretched…?).
:??
I have never, ever seen measurements like that. 
My guess that this yarn’s claim to fame is it’s stretchiness.
Well it just figures that I’d fall in love with a freak yarn… :rollseyes:
It might be really good for socks for people whose feet swell. A lot. :roflhard:
:roflhard: :roflhard:
Unbidden mental image there…one that will stay with me for the rest of my life!
I am eight weeks postpartum and really could have used that yarn for socks toward the end!
:roflhard: :roflhard:
Well, you’ll know for next time 
Maybe the extra “give” would be good for diabetics, too?

I hope not, because I think we have similar senses of humor! :roflhard:
