Each tube is hand cranked on an Erlbacher Knitting Machine named Tiffany from approximately 100 grams plus acrylic waste yarn over 64 sts.
Tubes are approximately 45" long and 3.75" wide x 2 when laid flat(not including waste yarn)
Knitted gauge is 8.5 sts /1” -we recommend using 2-2.25mm needles for knitting or whatever size needed to achieve a matching gauge.
*The yellow acrylic yarn attached to each tube is waste yarn holding the live stitches from unraveling. Pick up the sock stitches before you unravel the waste yarn.
How to complete your sock:
This is one long tube. You will need to decide how long you want your socks and divide accordingly. You can make one pair of socks or even 2 pairs if you have smaller feet or want shorter leg portions.
There are lots of videos and tutorials on youtube to help you finish your sock but here are a few we liked:
