Type 49106 - Bright Sock 4ply 49229Fibre Content 50% Superwash Merino 50% Tencel Meterage 333 meters per 100g Hank 100g Hank Attributes 4ply Weight Gauge : Knitted Flat 3mm 26sts & 38 rows About This Yarn We call this bright sock because the Tencel shines and adds to the brightness of the yarn. We recommend using acid dyes for this blend, the wool takes the dye well enough to compensate for the Tencel which will not take the acid dye. Bright strong colours can be achieved, and speckles

This bouncy base is a joy to dye and knit and looks great in the skein

The yarn produces a lovely soft fabric with a nice drape

We recommend semisolids or hand paints for this one

70% Superwash merino

400m per 50g hank

The fabric holds its shape really well whilst maintaining a nice drape

and is almost the ultimate speckle yarn due to the construction

This is such a fun yarn

and speckles spread and look like water colours on the resulting fabric

so works really nicely for accessories and garments

75mm provides more stability whilst maintaining its velvety texture
