20ish? Yeah…in base 16

I catalogued all my sock yarn. 20 wasn’t even close. I have yarn for a solid 31 pairs. This does not include yarn that’s not necessarily for socks (e.g. Schaffer Anne). I’m tempted to declare January a War on Socks, but that’ll surely jinx me.

  1. Wow! That’s impressive. Like, about $500 in sock yarns! You could start your own store…
    Makes me think I can go out and augment my measly sock yarn stash — I’ve only got 5 or 6 pairs worth.

  2. LOL… I think I have about as much… only problem… I’ve not managed to produce one single sock so far LOL… I’ve got 2 rows done on another try of a cuff down sock. It is some Opal hand painted yarn in medium grey, dark grey and a sky blue… gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Just need to figure this whole sock thing out I guess.
    cheers

  3. Loving the math reference in the subject.
    Perhaps part of our sock problem is that we tend to pick up a few skeins when we go to MS&W and Stitches when we can’t find anything else we want.

  4. Okay – this was exactly what I needed. I’m going to go home and catalog my sock yarn as well. Maybe *that* will convince me that probably, for now at least, I have *enough*. cough. cough.

  5. Mmmmm…mountain colors! Hold me back! I made a pair out of that exact same colorway and it’s one of my favorites.
    It may be alot, but at least they’re pretty to pet and look at.

  6. I was surprised by how my sock stash is too. Sock yarn is pretty small and one can easily and inexpensively–comparatively–purchase enough for a project! If I go to a shop and can’t really find anything–I often buy sock yarn! Too easy to stash–and I have only finished two pairs. Pulse warmers are nice in fingering.

  7. Thanks for posting your sock inventory – I’m greatful to see that other people’s sock stashs are equal to or larger than mine! And I feel for you and the six different socks since the same thing happened to me last summer.
