This yarn is just the weight I had been looking for. It knits up beautifully and is easy to work with. I am a beginner with respect to sock knitting and I really wanted a good DK yarn as 4 ply is a bit hard for me. I had only been able to get one skein of this brand in 8 ply at a store in the States. Was thrilled to find a great selection of 6 ply at Laughing Hens. Definitely my go to yarn and I plan to try the 4 ply next.
