October 2024. We happened to be in Charlottetown and attended the "Fiber Fest", I think it was called. Stumbled on the Storm socks and Miss Janets booth. "They aren't as bulky as they feel when they are on your feet." She told me as I was handling a pair of Storms. They felt so soft and comfy that I bought myself a pair. She is right. We were on a 3 week drive from New England to Canada and back and I wore these socks for most of the rest of our trip! When we got home I ordered more for myself and as gifts for our boys. They loved them too...and ordered more online themselves. These are just great wearing socks. I hav become a sock snob, lol, in my golden years (73) and have purchased Darn Tough & Farm to Feet socks, both of which I still wear and like, but these Storms have become my favorite sock for all 4 seasons here in Tennessee, USA. I think I will try some of the Boot Socks as well. Thanks, Miss Janet!
This is a wonderfully soft gorgeous yarn. I am using two strands of it with a fingering merino yarn and it’s really beautiful. And NOT itchy. That’s the main thing for me. I love the look of a fuzzy mohair in some sweaters, but regardless of the price point of the yarn, I find mohair itchy. The Green Gables alpaca lace is not itchy at all and feels lovely next to skin. I would buy it in more colors……
Cheers, Barbara
This must be your fifth request regarding two skeins of yarn. I gave you a review recently. Give me a break!!
Their customer support chat was amazing for my first buy. This is my first experience with alpaca wool socks and I will never try anything different for warmth. I misplaced one of my aplpaca socks :'( so I have been wearing one sock with one happy foot. I have one foot that is comfy, warm and soft! My other foot feels colder, less loved and definitely treated without luxury. I am so glad I took the gamble to try their product! My feet are often colder than my diabetic patients in the Emergency Department, so I will absolutely purchase again.
Socks are so soft and warm. My daughter put them on right away. I am knitting with the wool now and it’s so soft. Highly recommend.
