This morning I made the decision to use the Zora pattern for my next socks. The more I knit on this sock, I am convinced that my favorite sock yarn is String Theory Caper. It’s 80% merino/10% cashmere/10% nylon. It’s springy, it’s so soft, it’s fluffy enough for good stitch definition. That’s exactly what String Theory says about their yarn and it’s true. They also say the projects can be machine washed inside out but recommend laying it flat to dry. I will hand wash mine and lay them flat to dry.
String Theory yarn is available at some of the knitting shops but there are lots of colors on the String Theory site and can be ordered directly from them. They will even wind it into a ball for no charge. I’ve ordered from them before and they’re good to do business with and they give you points, which add up to a discount on yarn purchases! Can’t beat that!
The Zora pattern is easy to follow, easy to memorize and so far, as been a fun knit!

Hi Judy. I love your yarn recommendations. I have the Zora pattern saved on Ravelry – hope to do it next. I just ordered 2 skeins of String Theory from TLE – never used it before but I love the yarn with cashmere.

I love this pattern! It looks fun to do with the cables…nothing worse than boring knitting.

Thanks for the link to the Zora pattern…just downloaded it. I will make these for my April sock of the month.

Merino is the softest and finest of the wools, add cashmere and nylon so no wonder you love it. Sock is looking good so far!!!! Enjoy!!!!
Hugs!!!!!

Thanks for the yarn recommendation, Judy. I recently bought a sock yarn with the same blend of fibres (dyed by Three Irish Girls, available through a number of online yarn shops as well as directly from TIG). It is lovely and soft also. I love the look of the Zora sock pattern. Definitely a must-make! It looks wonderful in your deep blue yarn.
