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. Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights colourway is inspired by the Aurora Borealis as seen from a snow-covered field at midnight: a jet-black sky swirled with amethyst, emerald and fuchsia.
