Knittery Cashmere/Merino - needle size

For those who have made socks with this - did you use 2.5mm or 2.75mm? It's 420m in length but still seems quite thick and swatching on 2.5mm it seems quite a dense fabric.

What absolutely gorgeous yarn tho!!!!! heart

I used 2.5mm on my Anna Karenina socks and yes it is dense but not too much. The suggested needles for them was 2.25, I think but I went with 2.5mm and they are okay so far, but I think the socks will be too small for me anyway.

Have you tried swatching?

I just started a sock - that was my swatch!! Think I'll just carry on with it and see how it comes out Razz

Thanks Cool
