I tried & ranked 13 sock yarns - which are the most durable? | Socktober 2026

It's Socktober again, and apparently my way of nesting during pregnancy is knitting a bunch of socks! In this video, I'm rating 13 sock yarns that I've tried so far, from budget-friendly workhorses to more luxurious, hand-dyed options. What's your favorite sock yarn? Do you prefer affordable, hard-wearing yarns or do you enjoy splurging on something special, maybe even limited edition?
