Does anyone know of a source for this? I'm knitting socks with worsted weight wool that wasn't designed as a sock yarn. I want to knit a reinforcement yarn in the heels and toes, but my LYS doesn't carry it. Anybody know if I can just substitute a clear nylon thread and carry that with my yarn as I knit the heels and toes?
thanks!

The ladies in my knitting group swear by dental floss as a reinforcement. Frances
Karlisa spun a FINE 'yarn':

THe best thing I've ever used is "Wooly Nylon"-- a kind of serger thread, I think. It's available at fabric stores (JoAnn's, Hancock) and comes in several colors. I usually use a light grey that blends in with everything. I wear my wool socks all winter, and I haven't had a pair wear out yet.
