The story behind Soliloquy:
A. 4-ply sock yarns are so bulky…
There are a couple of things that bug me about 4-ply sock yarns:
1. I love knitting with them, but do not like wearing 4-ply socks; to me, they're too bulky.
2. I hate spending £15 – £20 on a hank of STUNNING sock yarn, only to finish knitting a pair of socks within a week.
3. I love knitting lace but don't like the extra bulk that lace stitches produce as a result of knitting stitches together (especially when knitting lace socks!).
B. When looking for thinner yarns, lace weights are the obvious ones to consider. But at 800 metres per 100 grams, I'd have to knit on 1.2 – 1.5 mm needles to produce a "sock-able" stocking stitch. It's an option, but I'd prefer to keep my knitting easy on the eye.
c. I was getting lots of requests for a 3-ply yarn that is suitable for knitting vintage patterns.
So the idea of a Sock Lace was born. Finer than Sock yarn, more substantial than a Lace yarn and perfect for 3-ply vintage patterns.
