Madelinetosh has definitely been one of my favorite yarns through the years. Work sock is not a really new yarn to them but it’s one of their newer yarns and one I’ve never worked with.
I have one skein of this color, Yucca, so I’m going to use it to make another pair of fingerless mitts . . still making gifts for the ladies in Addie’s life.
The color looks almost exactly like the ones I’m just finishing up this morning but next to each other, the Yucca looks more green. It’s classified as a sport weight but everyone who has used it says it’s more like a DK weight. The Miss Babs Yowza I am currently using . . it’s classified as light worsted in some places and as DK in others but to me, it feels more like sport weight and I do think the Work Sock is a bit thicker.
The Work Sock was 192 grams/400 yards per skein so it’s a good sized skein for sport weight yarn.
I think I’ll make the same mittens I’m just finishing up, and compare the Yowza and Work Sock.
