I love making socks but most sock yarn is so thin and lightweight it takes forever to make them! I love the tuffy brand from Briggs & Little as it lets you make a durable and warm chunky sock!

I have always bought Briggs and Little wool. My company is Aunt Maggie's Homespun and I have always ordered wool from them in the New Brunswick mill. Since I moved to Alberta last year to take on a teaching position in a Hutterite Colony, I explored the Internet looking for the closest company that sold Briggs and Little. I found Yarn Canada and have been ordering from them ever since. Wonderful wool and wonderful service!

This yarn is a little rough, but my cat LOVES it! I guess it's the smell of lanolin from the wool? Either way, she absolutely loves it and will muff the ball as I'm working with it and purr, so I use it to make blankets for her to lay on.

I knit my second pair of Tuffy socks, a gift for a friend to wear with her riding boots. Two skeins is more than enough for a pair of socks with a long leg. The yarn is on the stiff side for knitting, especially if you knit the socks tight (which is a good idea for socks), however, they are quite comfortable to wear. My older pair have pilled but they are work socks so I don't care about looks and maybe I wasn't as careful as I should have been washing them. Nevertheless, they are unbelievably warm and wear like iron.

I love this yarn. It is a little rough but knits up great. Once washed and blocked it feels a little softer. It smells like sheep. It is Canadian and it is a great price. I love the colours
