I’m still undecided about this particular yarn. It is nowhere near as soft as you would expect a merino/cashmere/silk blend. It is only 3.5% silk but it has that weird dry feeling that makes it feel like there’s more silk than that. It’s not scratchy but it is not soft.
It’s not unbearable even against bare skin-it just feels papery if that makes any sense. I’ll be happy enough with the finished product. It’s just not how I expected merino/cashmere/silk to feel.

I’m currently working on a cardigan (Kallias, also with two yarns held together), and two pairs of socks.
I have done one heel turn with a flap and gusset, but my preference is an afterthought heel. Those are the only two I’ve tried so far.
Maybe see what other types of heels are available and try one that feels easier to you?
