Comments:

Since this yarn was 100% wool, it did not last long as socks. I duplicate-stitched the soles of these with a sock yarn containing nylon in an attempt to extend their life. This would have looked better if I had used a matching color of yarn, but I didn't have any at the time.

You can see my patch job at the heel and ball of the foot.
