Koigu KPPPM P508
These are from the latest bag I cracked open: Koigu KPPPM in colourway P508. 100% Merino; 160m/50g.
And here are some samples of how it knit up:
This pair is size Small, knit with the 54 needle cylinder on the Legare 400. The colours patterned in a predictable, non pooling manner on the Small and also on the Medium (not shown) which I knit at the same tension.
This pair is size Medium +, knit with the 72 needle cylinder on the Verdun 47.
And this last pair is size Large, also knit with the 72 needle cylinder on the Verdun 47, but with tension 1/4 turn looser than for the Medium+.
I added Black Wooly Nylon to all the heels and toes.
These will be great colours for fall and winter. (Hard to believe tomorrow is Sep 1 when the farm is sweltering in the 30′s like the rest of south-western Ontario!)
The small photos may give an impression that these are black and orange stripes, but if you look closely (or in person!) you’ll find a zillion colours in as many shades, as you would expect in Koigu.














This is Foot Loose by Diamond Yarns in colour #16 (some call it Midnight).
I just cracked this bag, so this is the only pair I’ve knit so far – size Medium, knit with the 54 cylinder on the Legare 400.
The socks are knit from Koigu KPPPM colourway P803. 100% merino, hand painted. 175 yds/50g.
(besides another lousy photo)
