Ok, I’m back from digging through my stash for two-ply yarn to use for my Chrysanthemums.

I have Madline Tosh Merino Light in Fathom and Winter Wheat (this is actually 4 ply – hmm. I guess Tosh sock yarn is 2-ply).


I have some Malabrigo sock yarn in Violeta Africana (this is 3 ply, but I love it!).


Found this Handwerks So-soft Milkweed (The color is good, but it’s 4 ply…and it is so soft because it has cashmere, so it might be fuzzy).


OR I have Dragonfly Fibers Sock Yarn in Deep Ocean (rats, this is 4 ply also)…..hmmm.


Ok. I just looked up my socks with the best stitch definition. They are out of 4-ply Shibui Knits Sock AND 4 ply Barking Dogs Achilles. So, maybe I don’t get that hung up on how many plies there are after all.

After seeing this picture on the A.D.D. knitter’s blog, I’m leaning Malabrigo.

Which color do you like?
