I LOVE this yarn--I used Claudia's Hand Paint, which I found at The Knitting Basket (I used a gift certificate I had from my birthday.) I remember Mary buying this yarn at MDS&W, but I had never purchased or knitted with it. Its LOVELY! The colors give loads of trued variegation (its different on every row, and the stitches really stand out) and the yarn is tough but very, very soft. I loved knitting with this yarn.The colors are NOT my style (I like screaming brights; pastel neutrals make me look like I just died) but my pal said she likes neutrals, and there are loads of neutrals on her blog. And these socks are not just beige, there are loads of subtle changes and gentle yellows in them. It reminds me of buttered toast, one of my favorite foods.
