My Experience
Where I got it: I bought it in person at Knit Fit 2016 in Seattle.
Needles I used: Addi Turbo 2.5 mm
Blocked Gauge I got: 33 sts/48 rows = 4"/10 cm
My Thoughts: This is a solid sock yarn that's a bit on the skinny side. It's soft, but also has a really lovely dry wooly feel to it. It's plied tightly and is super bouncy, which makes me think it's going to be really long-wearing. My stitches are even and crisp, so I think this could do well with textures.
What I might design with it: I've got a new sock design in this yarn! Okanogan takes advantage of the durability of the yarn - I worked the socks at a snug gauge with some clever details like reinforced heels and toes to make them perfect for hiking.
