100 g = apx 420 m

One Skein is enough for a large pair of men’s socks
Care: While this is super-wash, and can be washed in cool water in a washing machine, I recommend hand washing, gentle in cool water with pH neutral soap.
Notes: Due to the variation of water chemistry, your yarn may bleed a small amount - take care mixing colors and pre-washing your skein is recommended if knitting with contrasting colors.
Always alternate rows and skeins for patterns using more that one skein.
Inspired by the concept presented in Sokolov’s book The Cook’s Canon: 101 Classic Recipes Everyone Should Know, I chose the name Canon for my Merino sock yarn - it’s sturdy, reliable and a good base for a variety of knitting projects. Just like a classic set of recipes that chefs turn to and build upon, I hope you will find this yarn to be your go-to sock yarn where you can build your projects upon.
