Sock from Malabrigo is a 100% Superwash Merino fingering weight yarn that does a lot of things quietly and well. Soft and smooth to the touch, its 3-ply construction gives it the strength and durability needed to hold up as a sock yarn without any added nylon - a real achievement for a pure Merino base. But as the name might suggest and then some, this yarn is far more versatile than its label implies. It works beautifully for shawls and scarves, where its softness and smooth stitch definition really come into their own, and its gentle, non-scratchy feel makes it an equally lovely choice for baby garments. If you're a Malabrigo fan, you'll already know the brand's reputation for exceptional colour, and Sock is no exception - the Superwash Merino takes their characteristically rich, tonal dyeing beautifully, making each skein a pleasure to work with from cast on to cast off.
