Socknado is made from top quality merino wool blended with just the right amount of nylon to provide durability. Socknado is suitable for all your crafting needs and for all types of projects - baby clothes, sweaters, shawls, mitts (see Carol’s mitts & socks pictured a bit further down), gloves, and hats, and it is a great yarn for knitting long wearing socks. This fingering weight yarn is twisted and plied (three ply), it is soft and strong, and is a joy to knit and wear.
We have brought in 4-5 skeins of Socknado in each of these seven colourways!
