MERYLON 75/25 SOCK BLANK: Approximately 100g/463yds 75/25 superwash Merino wool/nylon in a single-knit sock blank. This is an excellent offering of the ubiquitous 75/25 fine fingering/sock yarn that is so useful and versatile.
This was twisted lengthwise and coiled in the dyepot and speckled only with magenta, purple, berry, cherry, red, hot pink and a bit of caramel gold. All the colouring is from bleed-through and direct application, but they were not dyed any base colour first. The twisting resulted in what looks a bit like snakeskin to me.
Sock blanks are dyed individually and each is one of a kind. Two socks knit from the same black will be similar but not identical.
This is a lovely, soft (but tough!) yarn, great for just about any fingering weight project. It is perfect for socks, next-to-skin items and baby garments. If you knit socks tightening the gauge slightly will ensure iron-like wear.
While this is superwash treated, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
