So cotton sock yarn has come up a few times now, maybe I should try it out. I've heard that it doesn't have the stretch of wool and doesn't block as well, so funny stitches stay funny even after washing and drying. Opinions, those of you with experience?

I've spent a lot of time in western North Carolina, my grandmother actually just sold her house in Pisgah Forest to move into town. So if I were to order from them perhaps I could still count it as buying local.
