Better in knitting it
I am working with the Eclipse yarn and really like it. Patons Kroy knits well and produces a nice soft product that is hard wearing and machine wasbes. The colours of the dark stripe are actually better than in the pic. Three stripes of black, deep plum and dark grey separated by the light grey beige. Making these for a neighbour's husband for Christmas.

Beautiful sock yarn
This is true to colour as I just finished knitting a pair of socks with this wool. Love the feel and the pattern turned out to be beautifully stripped.

Hard wearing sock yarn
This slightly thicker than average sock yarn wears like iron. Two balls and you get two socks of pure awesome. If you're wanting socks that match, however, stay away from FX or the stripes. Skeins are often wound opposite of one another, and sometimes color repeats in FX do not exist. Personally, I love having mismatched socks.
