This machine washable cashmere is ideal for super soft, giftable socks (for yourself or someone else!). The only challenge is that there isn't a ton of yardage on each hank of the cashmere sock yarn. At 8 stitches to the inch, you can get a woman's medium sock with a 5inch cuff (compared to the 8 inch cuff that the pattern calls for). For a longer cuff or a man's sock, you'll need 3 hanks.
