I love love love all of their yarns- the hand-dyed colors are fantastic, the yarn is so soft I just want to sleep in it, and it knits up beautifully. I made myself some socks from their Pulled Taffy (50% mohair, 45% Merino) and love them. Pulled Taffy is listed as a DK weight yarn, and I'm sure it would knit up just fine at that gauge, but for socks I used 3.0 mm needles (the big size 2) and 56 sts and the pair came out warm and comfy.
All but a couple of the luxury yarns come in 8 oz hanks, and around 500 yds, plenty enough to make at least 1 pair of socks (and 2 if the 2nd pair is smaller). They're all hand dyed and the colors are much richer than my scanner shows.
