What kind of yarn is suitable for sock yarn?


Good evening, everyone.
How are you doing today, as we are gradually feeling the arrival of spring?

Today, we have made some changes to our pages and created a new section on sock yarns.
What kind of yarn is suitable for sock yarn?
Generally speaking, sock yarns that meet the following criteria are suitable for socks.

■Nylon blend
■Shrink-proofed (superwash)
■High twist

Of course, you can knit socks with other yarns.
I have also selected yarns that do not prickle, so you can knit clothes and accessories with sock yarns.

Sometimes I am asked "Can I knit socks with original yarn?
Original yarn is also shrink-proofed, but the twists are a little sweeter.
However, it is a fluffy and moist yarn, so it is very comfortable for your feet.
When knitting with the original yarn, please use it in a low-friction environment, such as while relaxing at home or sleeping.

There are so many different sock patterns available these days that it is hard to decide which one to knit.
We wish you a wonderful socks!
