Soft twist. This yarn is a new kind of Supersock: one with nylon! It is composed of 80% superwash merino and 20% nylon. Sockittome offers the softness of Supersock without the need for a high twist as the nylon provides longevity.
Project ideas. Although it is designed for socks, the yarn is so soft that many knitters prefer it for baby blankets, and hat and scarf sets. The yardage can't be beat: there is plenty for a pair of socks.
Pink flowers. The Cherry Blossom colourway is inspired by cherry blossoms open on a rare sunny day after spring rains. This colour was only available in Europe until November 2007 when it was released to the rest of the world.
