Superba Bamboo Superwash Sock Yarn : Norwegian Style Raspberry 062

We are absolutely loving this "Raspberry" colourway. It manages to be both bright and cheery while staying rooted in that timeless, rustic aesthetic we all love. What makes this sock yarn a real standout is the way it mimics the look of traditional Fair Isle or Norwegian stranded knitting all on its own. As you work your way around the sock, the yarn creates "mock" patterns and sweet, berry-toned speckles that look incredibly professional. It’s all the "wow" factor with none of the tangled-yarn stress!

But it’s not just a pretty face - the feel of this yarn is what really wins us over. By blending 50% virgin wool with 25% bamboo viscose, Rico has created a thread that is remarkably soft and has a gentle, sophisticated sheen. It’s a wonderful choice if you find 100% wool a bit too "toasty" or "prickly" for your skin. The bamboo makes the fabric breathable and light, so your hand-knitted socks will feel just as good in the spring as they do in the depths of winter.

Effortless style for every stitcher

We’ve rated this for everyone from Beginners to Confident makers. Because the pattern is "built-in" to the dye of the yarn, you can stick to a simple stocking stitch and still end up with a pair of socks that look like a work of art. The 420m in this 100g promotional skein is very generous, usually leaving you with plenty of yarn for a good-sized adult pair (and perhaps a tiny matching pair of "booties" for a little one if you’re crafty with your gauge!).

We know that handmade socks need to be practical, too. This yarn is a "superwash" mix, so you can pop your finished masterpieces in the machine on a gentle 40°C cycle without any worries. It’s an authentic, high-quality yarn that makes "fancy" knitting accessible to everyone.
