Description:

Silver Superwash Sock offers a reliable blend of softness, strength, and visual interest for standout dye projects. Spun from 70% Superwash Merino (21 microns), the yarn takes dye evenly and deeply while maintaining a soft, next-to-skin feel.

Silver Superwash Sock also contains 23% nylon to provide resilience and stretch, making it a dependable choice for socks and high-wear items. A subtle 7% Silver Lurex thread is spun consistently through the yarn, adding a delicate shimmer that holds up through the dyeing process without overpowering your colours. The Lurex resists dye, allowing for clear contrast and a touch of sparkle that adds value without complicating the dye process.

Silver Superwash Sock is a go-to for dyers seeking a touch of luxury with solid performance—perfect for limited edition runs, seasonal colourways, or building a signature sparkle line.
