The result?
A premium yarn base that not only looks and feels beautiful but also supports sustainable and humane practices.
We proudly offer three exceptional Superwash Sock yarns, each with unique characteristics to suit your specific project needs.
All three bases share these essential qualities:
- 75% Superwash Merino (21–21.5 micron), 25% Recycled Nylon
- Perfect for dyeing with acid dyes
- Soft, strong, and machine washable
- Ideal for socks, shawls, scarves, and next-to-skin garments
- Produced using mulesing-free merino in Peru
- Available as 100g hanks or blanks)
High Twist Superwash Sock
Yardage: 465 Yards (425m)
Skein Weight: 3.5 Ounces (100g)
If you’re looking for extra durability and yardage, Superwash Sock Hi Twist is your go-to.
This yarn features a higher twist construction, with two strands lightly twisted together to create a strong, springy texture. The added twist not only enhances stitch definition but also increases resistance to abrasion and pilling—making it perfect for long-lasting socks and other high-wear items.
Thanks to the extra meterage (425m per 100g), it offers greater value and reach, especially for tall socks or intricate lacework. Despite its strength, the merino remains buttery soft and gentle against the skin, making this yarn equally suitable for shawls and accessories.
🔸 Best for: Durability, tighter stitch definition, socks that go the distance
🔸 Why choose it: You get more yarn per skein and a more hard-wearing fabric
Superwash Sock
Yardage: 437 Yards (400m)
Skein Weight: 3.5 Ounces (100g)
A best-seller for good reason, Rooster’s Superwash Sock is the classic all-rounder.
With a standard 4/16nm construction, this yarn offers an ideal balance of softness, strength, and flexibility. The 21-micron merino provides excellent stitch definition while remaining non-itchy and smooth to the touch.
Like its Hi Twist counterpart, it’s machine washable, resilient, and takes dye beautifully—but with a more traditional twist and feel.
It’s perfect for socks but also shines in baby garments, shawls, and everyday knits.
🔸 Best for: Versatile knitting and dyeing, classic sock patterns, soft babywear
🔸 Why choose it: A dependable, go-anywhere yarn with an easy, familiar feel
Superwash Sock Blanks
Yardage:437 Yards (400m)
Blank Weight: 3.5 Ounces (100g)
Blank Size: 23.5 in x 11.5 in (double-stranded, pre-knit blank)
For adventurous dyers and those who love creating perfectly matching socks, Superwash Sock Blanks are a dream come true.
Made from the same base yarn as the Superwash Sock, these pre-knitted blanks are double-stranded, allowing you to dye and then knit two identical 50g skeins—perfect for creating self-striping or gradient effects.
This format opens up creative possibilities that are hard to achieve with skeins, making it a favourite among fibre artists looking to experiment with patterned or symmetrical colourways.
🔸 Best for: Gradient dyeing, matching sock sets, self-striping yarns
🔸 Why choose it: Designed for dyers who want perfect symmetry and visual impact
Three Ways to Knit with Sock Blanks:
-
Wind Two Separate Balls:
Unravel the red thread and separate the strands. Wind each into its own ball and knit your socks one at a time, starting from the end rather than the beginning. This method helps the yarn relax before knitting. -
Knit Two at a Time from the Blank:
Leave the sock blank intact and knit directly from both strands at once. This is perfect for knitting two socks at the same time and keeps your yarn organized. -
Use a Center-Pull Ball:
Watch our video tutorial on how to hand-wind a center-pull ball. Knit your first sock directly from one strand, then wind the second strand into a center-pull ball and use it to knit your second sock.
🌿 Care Instructions (All Variants)
- Machine washable on a wool program at or below 30°C using a wool detergent
