These are really really cute socks. I am not much of a sock wearer because I live in the sunny desert climes; however, when it is winter and the wind blows and the rain falls and the temp is lower than 80 F., I get all shivery and pull the socks out from time to time. I was enchanted by this pattern of lambs, especially since I purchased them at Christmas, which put me in mind of the Lamb of God.

My only complaint with these is that in the making of the lambs, much yarn was required and what was not on the outside as a lamb, was on the inside as a string, or, actually, lots of threads. My toes got hung up trying to put them on...on the second pair I was more careful as I was with the third pair so that my piggys were not unnecessarily caught up and tangled!

I had also purchased come kitty socks. These in a dark grey.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hot-Sox-Originals-Classic-Cats-Crew-Socks/dp/B009ZTULXS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hot Sox Originals Classic Cats Crew Socks</a>These in denim:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hot-Sox-Novelty-Cats-Crew-Length-Socks-One-Size-Denim-Heather/dp/B00A6SV50A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hot Sox Novelty Cats Crew Length Socks, One Size, Denim Heather</a>. These were manufactured by two different companies and they had a few extra threads, but not BUNCHES OF THEM like the lamb sox did.

I had to use the Kitty socks for comparison to the Lamb ones as it was my only experience with "fancy socks." So, I thought the Lamb ones could have used less thread which threatented my toes. Also, I usually use a lint grabber to clean out the insides of socks prior to washing. Easy with the kitty socks. Difficult with the lamb ones. So, the lamb ones, while very very cute, get only four stars beacause of excess thread content....but note....this is from one who infrequently wears socks. Still, tis my honest opion. Buy these for great external prettiness, but caution your toes prior to wearing!
