the yarns are the same content 100% wool 🐑 but a different mix of colored fleeces. I keep going back and forth on the one I like so your input will help a lot.

 Darker ones 
 thanks 👍 
 I'm for the dark one, the Bitcoin symbol sticks out more I think? 
 thanks 👍 I'm leaning towards that one too 🤔 
 Tough choice. I might think it’d be good to have both available. 
 I think that's the ultimate goal but I can only knit so fast 😂 
 My thoughts are:
The pale one looks nicest to me, but the dark one would take longer to look dirty 😂 
 hahaha, that's true!  
 I vote darker, but I’ll probably buy at least one pair of either color. I don’t know if this question will make any sense, but are they a chunky knit or a smooth knit? 
 these are chunky. the yarn I'm using makes a thick, warm, durable sock but sacrifices a little softness. 

Softer socks are usually made with finer wools which can be a nice treat for your feet but I find that they develop holes more easily since the fiber isn't as durable and the yarn is often mixed with nylon to make it stronger but will often shred the wool in the process. 

I hope that answers your question  
 It gives me an idea lol. I’ll probably still snag a pair once you make them available to give a go. I am picky about my socks but I also burn through them pretty quick (boots, 12+ hrs a day, average 25k steps a day) 
 awesome! I'll get to knitting ;) 
 Darker  
 It’s not quite my style but my girlfriend would probably like the lighter ones!
