Curious Yarns sock yarn, what's it made of?I have some Curious Yarns sock yarn but I don't have the label any more and the Curious Yarns website no longer exists so I can't just look it up
From the feel of it I'd guess it's 75% wool 25% nylon? Can anyone tell me for sure? And does anyone know whether it's machine washable or hand wash only? Hoping someone here will be able to help! TIA

Well, it doesn't actually say what the content is on the label but it does say it's machine washable at 40 degrees :0
See here for a pic of the label 
You could wait for Gilraen or Minniemoll to see this too as they both have some in their stash

Franney, you're a genius! Well, that's all my questions answered - thank you so much.
And .... what's rather scary is that my guess was right!  I obviously have handled far too much sock yarn if I can guess what it is just by the feel of it ...  
Cheers m'dear, much appreciated!

 no, i just use Ravelry far too much and you are very welcome
you could be right, but what a talent! It's a shame they don't have "You Bet" on any more isn't it! That'd be almost as good as the bloke who could tell what make and model a car was just by it's door shutting!
