While looking for my next project, I ran across six balls of a wool-acrylic blend yarn.  I vaguely recall receiving it a few years ago from my mother-in-law, and it's been stuck in one of my stash boxes since then, awaiting a project.  

I did some experimenting with it, knit a couple of swatches, and found that it actually had a pretty hand and excellent memory.  Both of those qualities made me automatically assume that it'd knit up into nice socks, and indeed it did!  I'm actually pretty impressed and listed the pair in my shop.

They're a bit less, price-wise, than my 100% natural fiber socks, which is probably a good thing.  They're also easier care than most of my current listings, and I hope both appeal to people who've been put off before. 

I have two more colors that need to be used up, and I hope to get to them in the next week or two.  It's great to see my item count climbing!  Of course, it'd be nice to have to work my butt off to keep things stocked, but I might actually reach my goal of 50 items by the holiday shopping season.
