I don't think I've seen a Regia collection that I adore more than this new Stripemania. First, STRIPES. We know I like stripes. A LOT. Second, it's 6 ply, so it knits up quick and will keep my feet warm. Third, like all Regia, it's machine wash and dry and I need options like that in my sock drawer.
Aren't these colors wonderful! Obviously great for socks, but I like the idea of a warm, squishy cowl out of one. Or a cowl and mitts out of two. Because there's 150 grams in a ball, you'd have a nice amount for a cowl. Do you have cowl ideas you think this striping yarn would be great with?
Very nice! I am drawn to the 6366 color way. None of the colors are ones I'd normally like but together they're attractive. I think they'd make nice men's socks or scarves. Regia wears like iron. I have a pair of socks knit from regular weight Regia in '98 &, even though they are thin now because of fibers lost in washing, they still are hole free & fuzz free. (BTW, I too LOVE the FK Sapphire. I may have to get some more).

These would make fantastic cowls. I've been on a cowl kick for awhile and not only love knitting them but love wearing them. Really like it when you have these heavier yarns.

I've noticed this sock pattern in other posts and have been wondering what heel is used for these socks? Love the striped yarn and yes it would make a pretty cowl.
