Tough Love Sock Mink
I was interested in this colour for quite some time and was so happy to find it at Knit City Calgary. The base is soft and can’t wait to use it in a special project.

Tough Love Sock yarn
Sweet Georgia knows colour, and this wool is a dream to work with. I purchased a skein of Black Truffle at Knit City in Calgary (2026) and my daughter also loved it, so I hurried back the next day for a second skein. These will be gorgeous chocolately socks for winter!
