Golden Socks Retro, 100 g

Golden Socks Retro is a luxurious 4-ply merino wool blend yarn, perfect for warm knits during the cooler seasons. The yarn features a soft, watercolor-like gradient effect and a beautiful autumn-inspired colour palette. In addition to socks, Golden Socks Retro is also suitable for other lightweight knitted garments such as sweaters and cardigans, wool pants and accessories. The long-staple, extra-fine merino wool (75%) provides warmth and breathability, while polyamide (25%) enhances the yarn’s durability. This high-quality blend makes the yarn a pleasure to knit with and wonderful to wear, ensuring that finished garments retain their beautiful appearance and shape for a long time. When you want to add a touch of luxury to your everyday life, knit beautiful, soft and durable garments with a yarn that feels just as good as it looks. Golden Socks Retro is machine washable, making it practical and easy to use for all kinds of knitting projects. The yarn is non-felting. It is particularly well suited to simple stocking stitch and ribbed patterns. Delicate small textured patterns and lace knitting also truly shine in this yarn.
