The variegated red/purple socks, from Mountain Colors "Indian Paintbrush" colorway, are both at least two inches into the cuff ribbing. This is a very light worsted weight yarn (250 yards to 100 gram skein) but has a lovely hand. I could wish it fit in with the more robust worsted yarns, which run 200-220, but I'm using it just the same to see how it does. That's fine on the ribbing, but I might switch to smaller needles below the ribbing to give it more substance. Will see.
