Self Patterning Yarn - such as Opal or Regia Pros:  Plain knitting produces interesting or complex patterns           Usually made of high quality machine washable wool             with some nylon            Great for beginning sock knitters or “mindless” knitting            100 grams/425 meters usually enough for an adult pair and             toddler/baby pair of socks.             Cons:   Can be tricky to make socks match             Sometimes difficult to predict what pattern will emerge,             Often costs more than solid colors, limited production runs             Must knit to gauge using small (US size 0 to 2) needles             Pattern only works socks, will not show up properly on                sweaters, hats, etc.
