MERINO SOCK - BLOSSOM

Dark Omen Yarn’s Merino Sock is a fingering-weight yarn made for knits that are meant to be worn, not just admired. The blend of superwash merino and nylon creates a fabric that’s strong and long-lasting, while still feeling smooth and buttery soft against the skin. It has excellent stitch definition and enough resilience for socks and everyday pieces, without feeling rigid or synthetic.

Hand-dyed in Italy by Francesco, each skein has depth and character, with colourways that feel considered rather than overworked. The colours come alive as you knit, looking just as good in your stitches as they do in the skein. It’s a versatile choice for socks, shawls, lightweight garments and accessories — a beautiful yarn you’ll reach for again and again.

Hand dyed yarn is extra special because every skein is one of a kind. There are no batches and no perfectly matched skeins. This is where you can see the artistic point of view of each dye house we work with. Some dyers are quite exact in their repeatable colours while others are quite artistic and splashy, valuing the creation of each skein rather than the closeness of the colourway.

We take great care to photograph our products accurately, and still the unique skeins in your order may look different to the photograph, and they may even look different to each other. If you are using hand dyed yarns and are concerned with dramatic colour changes, when changing from one skein to the next, alternate rows to blend in the new skein.
