I also don't tend to make very tall socks and had a very small amount of yarn left from my claudias. That being said they are one of my favorite pair. On the other hand I got almost 2 socks out of a single hank of lornas. However, I did not particularly love the yarn and I got some some weird pooling. I think its better to err on the side of customer service but I would also want the so-called defective merchandise back. I would also draw the line at someone complaining after an item had been made. My latest pet peeve is knitpicks as a base yarn. I bought a hank from an lys because the colors were gorgeous. So when I went to wind it into a ball I realized it was knitpicks as a base yarn. At another LYS they were selling a house brand of sock yarn and it was definitely knitpicks and they wanted I think 25 a hank. I just find it kind of sleazy. I'm not sure why it bugs me so much it just does. You bring up a very good point. I also don’t tend to make very tall socks and had a very small amount of yarn left from my claudias.
