Ah, but you don't understand :) This wasn't some 'old pair' of socks.
These were very special, the first pair of socks I made from my
handspun, in gorgeous saturated hues of blue, purple and green, with
light touches of yellow and magenta :) I want *that* yarn in my socks,
not something commercial :)

I've heard so much about these old machines that I'm very intrigued.
Where do you find them? How much do they cost?

That's one of the nicest offers made me that I can think of :) But I
won't take your time. I have 2 other pair of handspun socks, and some 6
or 7 pair of commercial, so my feet are toasty warm :) Thanks for such
a generous offer, though!

with feet in an offwhite commercial wool sock yarn studded with small
flecks of fiber in all colors of the rainbow! I wish I knew how to spin
yarns like this :)
