I just finished working on the photographs of our new sock yarn, Steinback Wolle Aktiv Effekt, which is a self-striping 75% wool 25% poly sock yarn. Aktiv Effekt comes in 100 gram balls with 460 yards, which makes one ball sufficient for a pair of average size adult socks.
Two aspects of this yarn impressed me the most, the depth of the colors used and its softness. This yarn has a very soft hand and of course, it is machine washable.
My post on Aktiv Effekt was delayed as I could not get knitted sock photos and I still don’t have one (we received an ad photo from the distributor but it is a group shot and cannot really be used). I have a request, if you have a photo of socks that you have knitted or will knit with any of the colors of Aktiv Effekt we carry, I would love to have it. So please let me know if you have some photos – with your permission I will post them here and/or at the product page.
Hope you all had a great weekend!

Which sock pattern did you use to have the yarn pattern come out? I have a number of patterns, but even though I know I need to use 2mm needles, I still need to know the number of stitches to cast on to allow the pattern to emerge (for average adult W) socks)
Thank you
