It has thumbholes in it which are torn and being as he doesn't want thumbholes, I told him I could replace the cuffs. Anyone have a source? Thank you! ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature.

I was thinking the same thing. Often the cuffs with the thumb holes are made of synthetic for quick drying. The best fabric for cuffs has a little lycra for recovery. ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.

Yes, the cuffs are synthetic. I would love to use DH's old socks, but they are 100% cotton. Joann's is such a hike for me, and I don't shop there much. So I'm looking to some other sites where (dare I say it??) I can buy some fabric to save shipping costs... ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."
