Conclusion

Static, a self patterning yarn by Knit Picks

Last week we discussed what makes sock yarn unique and we featured some good work horse yarns.

Since then we’ve found a few more sock yarns we think you’ll love, and some are only available for a limited time.

Check them out…

Yarn Details

Why is it interesting?
Ready to meet the sock yarn of your dreams? Say hello to the Solemates Sock Set by Freia Fine Handpaints! Featuring two identical 228-yard balls of Shaniko merino fingering, this set makes perfect matched gradient socks.

Felicia Worsted by KnitPicks - Buy It Here

Yarn Details
Worsted weight | 75% Superwash Merino Wool , 25% Nylon | 218yds / 100g

Why is it interesting?
Not all sock yarn needs to be fingering weight. Sometimes you want to knit something a little warmer OR quicker.
But what we love most about this yarn is the BOLD stripes it creates as it knits up. PLUS it’s on clearance!

Bamboo Pop Sock by Universal Yarn - Buy It Here

Yarn Details
Fingering weight | 37% cotton, 55% bamboo, 8% pbt | 492yds / 100g

Why is it interesting?
Some folks are allergic to wool, so this cotton bamboo blend is perfect for the wool-free crowd.
Not to mention this self-patterning yarn looks absolutely scrumptious!

Sock Yarn by Malibrigo - Buy It Here

Yarn Details
Fingering weight | 100% Superwash Merino Wool | 440yds / 100g

Why is it interesting?
This fingering-weight sock yarn is made from 100% Superwash Merino wool. With an incredibly vast color palette filled with delicious neutrals and eye-catching neon shades, you’ll find endless project opportunities with Malabrigo Sock! The plied nature helps reduce the risk of felting in the wash we recommend any machine washing to be done with a gentle setting with cool water!

Gloss Fingering by KnitPicks - Buy It Here

Yarn Details
Fingering weight | 70% Merino Wool, 30% Silk | 220yds / 50g

Why is it interesting?
While most sock yarns use nylon or other synthetic fiber to add strength and durability, silk is a great natural option. Not only is it nice and strong, but it also will give your socks that silky sheen to put a little bounce in your step.

Vintage Sock by Berroco - Buy It Here

Yarn Details
Fingering weight | 52% Acrylic, 40% Wool, 8% Nylon | 437yds / 100g

Why is it interesting?
You already know and love Berroco Vintage, so we are excited to give your a warm introduction to the new sock version of this beloved yarn! With a wide color range, incredibly soft feel, and 437 yards in a skein, this yarn is everything we are looking for to make a pair of socks (plus its machine washable!)

Static by KnitPicks - Buy It Here

Yarn Details
Fingering weight | 75% Superwash Wool, 25% Nylon | 437yds / 100g

Why is it interesting?
What can we say, KnitPicks has a lot of great sock yarns. This limited edition yarn includes self-patterning colorways inspired by the TV shows you grew up with, like Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons.

Sock yarn is a beautiful and versatile weight, with tons of options to explore. Maybe more than any other yarn weight.
