I need to knit a pair of socks for my best friend for Christmas, however, I cannot find any DK weight yarn in red or black! Please help me out here! Can anyone point me to a place (online preferably) where there is cheap/soft dk weight yarn? My friend has size 8 feet.
I’m sure there are more, but here’s a few that look like they have red and black or close anyway.
Cotton Glace
Alpaca Silk
Cashmerino
Handknit _DK
Plymouth Encore DK
Plymouth Dreambaby DK
There’s merino style (which is super soft) from Knitpicks. They have a couple colors of reddish and coal.
it’s a handwash yarn though. =(
I have some Encore DK that is red and black its pretty and what I’m going to make my little girl a jumper out of…
Valley Yarns at Webs has some worsted weight superwash merino that comes in red and black. I think they also give you a sock pattern with it.

And while Merino style is listed as a DK, it’s more of a light worsted, not much thinner than regular worsted weight.

I’m considering the Plymouth Encore and I am trying to find an online store which sells it. If any of you have a link to a store that does, please send it my way I need to see how much it costs.
