Here is a pair of heavy wool socks I made for the Man this winter. They are wool with 15% mohair which I think means they will wear longer before developing holes or thin spots.
It also means they need to be hand washed and laid flat to dry so that they don't felt. That's okay though, my outlook changed on hand washing when I realized washing and rinsing a pair of socks takes about 30 seconds. A little longer if I have to wait for the water to heat up.
Since the yarn is heavy weight, I was able to get them done in about three days. Quick!
And perfect for wearing inside his unlined rubber boots when it's cold outside.
