Wesley Merino Sock is a springy 4-ply 100% South American Superwash Merino Wool fingering weight yarn. It’s incredibly soft with great stitch definition, and it’s perfect for any fingering weight project from socks, to shawls, sweaters, and more!

The Black Squirrel is a dyer who’s known for bright, happy colors, and more specifically colors which are UV-reactive and will glow in black light! They’re not glow-in-the-dark on their own, and don’t contain any chemicals as such, it’s just the structure of the dye molecules that reflect more UV light than other colors. The effects you can achieve by using them in colorwork, marling, and plain knitting are super dynamic even in normal light!t

Gauge info should always be found on your chosen pattern, because there is some variation in fingering weight yarns and your natural gauge may not be the same as the designer’s. Yarns similar to this one can be knit on needle sizes ranging from US 0-2 for things like socks, or US 3-4 for sweaters, and there’s even shawls out there that call for a size US 6 and larger. So please swatch with the needle size given in your pattern and make sure your gauge matches the gauge given by the author. If you have too many stitches per inch, go up a needle size and swatch again, or if you have too few stitches per inch, go down a needle size and swatch again, until your gauge matches what’s given in the pattern. Never try to get gauge by altering the way you knit, just change needle sizes as needed.
