The socks WILL rock...

I am confident that I will get some rockin' socks out of this yarn, but it seems as though maybe the mill that sells yarn to Blue Moon Fiber Arts may not rock so much.

Foremost, let me say that I am muy impressed that the first business day after I sent my perhaps slightly cranky e-mail to Blue Moon's customer service e-mail address, I received a prompt and polite e-mail from Tina Newton of Blue Moon stating (in excerpt):

Sorry about  the inconvenience. We have had a problem with our mill. We try to catch these but  unfortunately some do get through. We have been told by the mill that this is just how it is,which is unacceptable to us. So we are working on rectifying this situation.

They offered to replace my yarn, which is generous and speaks of an enterprise that would like to maintain its excellent reputation, not to mention win new fans.  I have to say that if they are indeed successful in getting their mill issues in order, they will definitely have a new fan in me.
