Ditto socks for color and economy

I discovered Ditto sock yarn on my last LYS expedition. The same company that makes Pace yarns, which I appreciate for their nice masculine solid colors, makes Ditto to take the pace of Pace up a step. Ditto comes in nice masculine multicolors that are more entertaining for the knitter and still conservative enough for guys who like earthy solids.

The color I knit for my husband Vic is Bryce Canyon Black, with bands and interjections in black, cream, grey, and brown. We think it’s very cool. Like Pace, it’s 75% superwash merino, 25% nylon. My LYS sells it for $6.00/50g ball, not much more than Pace, which she sells for $4.00. Not bad at all for my husband’s new favorite socks.
