Description:

Superwash Sock Blanks are a great way of dyeing up sock yarn sets to make two identical socks. The base is our highly popular Superwash Sock yarn, knitted into 100g blanks. It’s perfect for self-patterning yarns and gradient patterns. The blank is double stranded so once dyed it will produce two identical 50g skeins of yarn.

The merino fibres have been specially treated to make the yarn machine washable and it will not ‘felt’ when dyed or washed (when following the recommended care instructions). The merino gives natural elasticity and we deliberately use 21 micron merino fibres which are not itchy or scratchy on the skin. The recycled nylon gives the knitted fabric extra durability and strength.

This yarn is perfect for socks which will feel soft next to the skin due to the fine micron merino used.

​Both merino wool and recycled nylon accept acid dyes so the yarn is perfect for dyeing and readily takes up the dye.

“This is wonderful sock yarn. It’s so very nice to have a blank with finished ends. I always have to secure the live stitches on blanks to keep them from unraveling. With these, the work is done for me. And the red pull thread is a nice touch, too.”
