New! Beautiful new fingering sock yarn.. undyed yarn, SW merino with copper and nylon. This fingering-weight yarn has a wonderful elasticity and pleasing nubbly texture that feels wonderful. It has 2 plies of soft superwash merino and 2 thinner wraps of nylon embedded with a small amount of copper — good, so it is said, for arthritis as well as having anti-fungal properties. It has good shape retention but is quite elastic as well. It is exceptionally soft, bouncy, and durable.
This yarn is fantastic for socks, mitts, sweaters, hats, and any other accessory. It is not a good yarn for lace, but it's ideal for colorwork, texture, cables, stockinette and garter.
Hand or machine wash cold, tumble dry low or lay flat to dry.
Due to Copper Sock's unique construction and fiber content, many dyes will have a slight-to-moderate heathering effect (as dyes bond at different rates with the superwash merino and the copper-infused nylon). This is what makes this such a unique and fun yarn with which to experiment.
