Yama 100% Merino Soft Sock *SOLD OUT*

Yama Soft Sock is a beautiful, bouncy 100% Merino yarn. Softly twisted, 2 ply texture, perfect for sweater knitting. As soft as singles but with a little more structure and better stitch definition. Also suitable for hats and shawls, perhaps a little too soft for workhorse socks. Tip! Use Soft Sock & Merino Linen Singles or 100% Merino Singles together in one project for subtle textural variation, add some KidSilk for even more fun!

Dye batches vary and there may be variations within batches too ~ please make sure to purchase enough yarn to complete your project and remember to alternate skeins when working on larger pieces of fabric. Variegated skeins take more effort to produce and are charged for a little extra. Note that the skeins you receive may not be the identical skeins shown in the photograph.

Care Instructions: Garments can be machine washed on a gentle cycle however I recommend hand washing in cool water. Soak in a wool wash and rinse in clean water with a drop of essential oil. Roll in a towel to get the water out and dry flat.

Note that the darker saturated colourways can give off some residual dye on the hands while knitting, this is called “crocking”, read about it on the “Care Instructions” page under Info in the main menu.

See the Colour Combos tab below for colour combination ideas and to help cross reference the colourways.
