Superba Bamboo Superwash Sock Yarn : Norwegian Style Skies 065

We are completely smitten with the "Skies" colourway - it’s a beautiful mix of airy, tonal blues that remind us of a crisp morning walk. What really sets this sock yarn apart from the crowd, though, is the clever addition of bamboo viscose. It gives the wool a silkier, cooler handle than your standard 4-ply, making it a brilliant choice for those of us who find traditional wool a bit too warm or tickly. It’s incredibly comfortable against the skin, with a lovely "drape" that feels quite luxurious for a hard-working sock.

The gradient in this 100g skein is designed to flow naturally as you stitch, creating soft, moody stripes that look just as good in a simple stocking stitch as they do in a fancy lace pattern. Because it’s a self-colouring yarn, you can just sit back, relax, and watch the shades of the sky emerge from your needles. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy a bit of "slow making" without having to worry about constant colour changes or messy yarn joins.

A treat for your feet (and your needles!)

Whether you are a Beginner taking the plunge into your first heel turn or a Confident sock-knitter with dozens of pairs under your belt, this yarn is a joy to work with. The blend of 50% virgin wool and 25% bamboo is strengthened with a bit of polyamide, so your hand-knitted treasures will actually last, rather than wearing through at the heel after a few strolls.

One of the things we love most is how practical it is—despite that delicate, soft feel, it’s a "superwash" yarn. You can pop your finished socks in a gentle 40°C machine wash and they’ll stay soft and shapely. At 420m per skein, there’s plenty of length for even the longest feet!
