This yarn was really the only "OSU" sock yarn I could find and one that was still in production, when conducting an online search. I was thrilled when I found it. My order arrived this past Wednesday. I finished one sock today (Saturday). I love the striping effect and the feel of the yarn in my hands. The price is a bit high, considering it takes 2 skeins for a pair. Overall, it's worth it. I'll be wearing my new socks come gameday!
Just a note if you're considering purchasing...my gauge is 8 x 11 per inch, using #2 needles. I consider myself a tight knitter. I realize tension varies from person to person, but I was a bit surprised that my results were that much different than what's printed on the yarn label.
I would definitely purchase this yarn again. Please let me know if it ever goes on sale!
