Knit warm socks for wild weather with Stormy Superwash Sock, a classic sock yarn in a naturally luminous palette that feels just right for gray skies and cozy days... As comforting as pulling on your favorite socks while rain taps at the window.

About This Yarn

• Spun and dyed in Peru, Stormy Superwash Sock is made with 85% fine superwash merino wool and 15% recycled nylon. Its round, 4-ply construction lends lasting strength for socks that stand up to everyday wear, countless trips through the washer, and surprise downpours.
• With a subtle halo, smooth texture, and radiant depth in every color, this yarn feels soft in the hand, delightfully bouncy on your needles, and toasty warm on your feet... Just the thing for weathering a stormy forecast!
• In an atmospheric palette of 18 heathered colors, moody shades like Evening Tide and Stillwater Blue roll in like clouds, while Summer Sky and Mama Lion suggest sunnier days ahead. Handy 50-gram balls give you endless options for color play, like contrasting heels and toes, stripes, and all the colorwork you can dream up.
• A fingering-weight yarn, Stormy Superwash Sock can be knit at a denser gauge for snug socks or a little looser for baby hats and garments, airy shawls, and more. Explore our growing collection of knitting patterns in Stormy Superwash Sock to find a wide-open sky of inspiration!

Sustainability + Environmental Impact

• The nylon is recycled from fiber production waste, giving a second life to leftover materials. It meets the Global Recycled Standard, which verifies the content of recycled materials and tracks them through the supply chain to ensure they meet specific environmental and social criteria.
• The Peruvian mill that spins and dyes the yarn is Peru Fair Trade Certified, which means they are committed to fair and safe working conditions, as well as a respect for the environment, with low-impact production techniques, a responsible consumption of resources, and the reuse, recycling, and reduction of raw materials. It is also OEKO-TEX Certified and adheres to European REACH regulations that protect human health and the environment from harmful chemicals.
