Description:

Superwash Sock is one of our best sellers – and rightly so! This popular luxury yarn combines softness, durability, and versatility, making it well-suited to both knitting and dyeing. Its standard 4/16nm construction provides 400m (437 yds) per 100g, making it ideal for socks, but equally suited to scarves, shawls, or baby garments that sit comfortably next to the skin.

Made from 75% superwashed Merino wool and 25% recycled nylon, the Merino fibres have been specially treated to be machine washable, resisting felting and shrinkage. The 21-micron wool is soft, non-itchy, and naturally elastic, while the recycled nylon adds strength and durability for garments that wear well over time.

Both the wool and nylon take up acid dyes beautifully. The yarn accepts colour evenly, producing vibrant semi-solids, speckles, or layered gradients. Its smooth, well-bound structure keeps strands orderly during dyeing, washing, and drying, resulting in consistent stitch definition and even knitting.

Superwash Sock is perfect for knitters and dyers seeking a reliable, easy-to-work-with base that combines softness, resilience, and excellent colour performance.

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.
