Superba Bamboo Superwash Sock Yarn : Nowegian Style Skies 066

We are always on the hunt for the perfect sock yarn, and this "Winter" colourway is a real treat for the needles. What makes it so special is the clever blend of materials. By combining virgin wool and durable polyamide with a generous 25% viscose (from bamboo), Rico has created a yarn that is incredibly soft to the touch and has a lovely, subtle sheen. It feels much lighter and more breathable than your average 4-ply, making it a fantastic "year-round" choice - perfect for those of us who like our hand-knitted socks even when the British summer actually decides to show up!

The "Winter" 066 shade features a Norwegian style on-trend colour gradient that does all the hard work for you. As you knit or crochet, you’ll see beautiful, self-patterning stripes and transitions emerge, meaning you get all the "wow" factor without having to weave in a million different ends. It’s authentic, high-quality yarn that makes the process of making just as enjoyable as the finished result.

Soft, sturdy, and super easy to care for

We’ve rated this for everyone from Beginners knitting their first cuff to Confident sock-muses. Because of the bamboo content, the yarn has a wonderful "slip" on the needles, which is a dream if you’re working with those tiny 2.0mm or 3.0mm pins. Each 100g skein comes with a generous 420 metres of yarn - plenty for a large pair of adult socks or even a cheeky pair of "mismatched" shorty socks with some left over!

We also know that life is busy, so we love that this yarn is a "superwash." You can pop your finished socks in the machine on a 40°C gentle wash, and they’ll come out looking as good as new. It’s the perfect blend of luxury and practicality.
