Patons Kroy Socks Yarn-Saltwater

First time using Patons Kroy Socks yarn. It is soft and my shawl is coming along beautifully. Does not split when working with it. I recommend it for more then just socks.

Almost finished crocheting a pair of Yarnspiration Slip Stitch Cuff Crochet Socks. This is the second time I've used Paton Kroy Sock Yarn and have enjoyed both experiences. Very easy to work with and gives a lovely product with great colors. It's a definite winner!

I purchased this yarn because it is what the sock-along recommended. I normally don't use yarn this light weight, but I've always wanted to make myself a pair of socks (I'm hoping they will fit and stay on my feet since I have a tendency to walk out of my socks and I hate that.) Regardless, I've enjoyed the feel of this yarn and the colors (70's stripes), but I hate the way it seems to split - especially at the most inopportune times (like working a front post treble crochet behind another set when trying to make cable stitches …). It also has random “pills” (fluffy clumps) of yarn along the strand of yarn. I either had to pull them off or very carefully cut them off, so they didn't had extra bulk (once again to my cables). Perhaps this is typical of sock yarn, but I'll be trying another sock weight yarn for my next pair of socks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this wool. The best wool I have found for socks. ( I MAKE A LOT OF THEM)

Love this yarn! The colors are always saturated and beautiful and the way the flow makes knitting an adventure.

I liked working with the yarn. It has a combination of wool and nylon which I like. The wool part will need special knit care so I wouldn't have chosen this yarn if I had known that. I knit for family members and they like simple washing.

Great yarn for socks. I have made many socks with this yarn and always love the results. It's my go to for gorgeous socks without all the colorwork.

It's hard to stop knitting with this yarn as the colors keep changing and forming stripes. They change depending on how many stitches are on the needles. Very good quality yarn.

This is a nice sock weight yarn and the colors are vibrant. However I was disappointed to find one skein isn't quite enough to make a pair of adult socks.

I consistently use Kroy sock yarn for all my socks and I have been making them for years. Not only this, I have friends who ask for handmade socks whenever they can. Handmade socks make excellent presents. So that should explain the five star rating. A lot of fellow knitters admit to using Kroy.
