A Note on Yarn for Eleanora Socks

It has come to my attention that some people are getting a bit confused about the yarn I used for my Eleanora socks. They are the German sock yarn called "Opal", NOT Louet Gems Opal (which is a fine sport weight). Nancy Bush uses Gems Opal in a few sock patterns, but it's VERY difficult to get gauge and a nice fabric with Gems Opal for the Eleanora sock.

Also, read this post for a discussion on where to find this German Opal.

Happy Knitting!
