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.

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.
