    If I wanted to use an additional reinforce thread for the toe and heel, or a different color, where would I start the yarn change or additional strand for the heel portion?

      Hi Barbara! If you work it at the bottom of the heel and back of the heel steps, that would be the whole heel. Hope that helps! – Nicola, Editor

      Hi Mary! One of these yarns is mohair blend and the other is a wool blend. Super Fine and Lace weight. This pattern is worked in the round from the toe up with one strand of each yarn held together. That way the sock has structure but also that fuzzy look! Hope that helps! – Nicola, Editor
