I'm working on some "man" gifts right now for my men at Christmas. For my husband, I made a variegated scarf and watch cap made with a lovely yarn - a "merino superwash" - purchased at Edgewood Yarn & Fibers.
It's a round yarn and worsted weight. It works up quickly with great stitch definition. One of the things I really like about this yarn is that it has a degree of elasticity, which really lends itself to making men's watch caps & close fitting beanies. Best of all... it's 100% merino wool... There's nothing like wool. It's warm, even when wet.

| Plymouth Select Merino Superwash Kettle Dyed |
The particular yarn I purchased is Plymouth Select Worsted Merino Superwash Kettle Dyed. It is a soft, machine washable wool yarn that comes in a variety of beautiful tonal colors and there's 436 yards per hank. One skein goes a long way!
From this one skein, a man scarf measuring 48"L x 9"W (all double crochet) was made as was a man's, ribbed watch cap (all single crochet), measuring 12"L by 20"W.
A good deal for the price!
