Even better - the yarn that came with the kit is this terrific Wensleydale Longwool spun in Yorkshire, England. I love the color but it is less elastic than other wools. Since I'm such a tight knitter, I prefer a more elastic yarn for cables. I may instead use the Wensleydale for plain socks and substitute some of my Regia for the cabled socks.
