Marled Sock is a sock yarn that does half the creative work for you! This innovative sock base combines superwash merino, pima cotton and recycled nylon to create a yarn that naturally develops a beautiful marled effect when dyed with acid dyes. The merino fibres absorb the colour while the cotton ply remains white, producing a soft heathered finish without any special dye techniques.

With three plies of superwash merino/nylon and one ply of lustrous pima cotton, the structure creates subtle visual depth and gentle texture in the finished fabric.

Perfect for indie dyers looking to offer something visually distinctive while maintaining the softness and durability knitters expect from a premium sock yarn.

About our recycled nylon
Made from recycled materials like fabric scraps and old fishing nets, our recycled nylon offers the same strength and durability as regular nylon – just with a lower environmental impact. It’s hard-wearing, long-lasting, helps reduce waste, and conserves energy.
