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. Bright orange. The Sugar Maple colourway is inspired by the maples that provide sap and are characterised by exceptionally bright leaves in the autumn. Picture a mountain maple tree with leaves tipped pink and orange with frost.

The manufacturer says: Although this yarn is machine washable, not every washing machine is the same, so for best results handwash.
