Where can I find sport-weight washable wool yarn to knit some socks?
I bought a book of patterns for knitting socks, published 1999. The socks all called for brightly-colored wool, sport-weight. Now I can’t find the proper yarn, either wool or part wool……I prefer the latter, since it is machine washable. Lion Brand’s washable sport-weight wool, Wool Ease, has been discontinued. Are there any others out there?
