This fingering weight yarn base is made from a blend of superwash Blue-faced Leicester wool (80%) and nylon (20%). Radiant Sock will feel smooth and shine brightly due to the unique qualities of this wool, categorized as a “luster longwool.” The fibers are finer, for more skin comfort, but also long and spun with high twist for increased durability. This yarn lends itself well to clearly defined stitches and draping fabrics.

Radiant Sock comes in hanks of 100g with approximately 400 yards per skein. This yarn has a lustrous, soft finish, and tends to take colorways in an intense yet blended character.

Please do note that while this yarn base is machine washable, superwash wool tends to grow when wet, and testing swatch behavior in the wash is recommended. Detergent designed for commercially made clothing can be too harsh for hand-dyed colors.
