Vegan Sock Yarn

Our wool-free sock yarn is perfect for not only socks but any project where you need elasticity – for example hat brims, waist bands, crop tops or even swimwear! We sell it in 100g skeins which are great for a pair of socks, and 10g or 20g minis so you can add a contrasting heel and toe, or put together your own selection to make a lovely stripy pair. For socks 100g is usually enough, for examples of using the minis as a hat brim there are several options on our Patterns page.

We do not recommend using any other yarn for socks as with plant based yarns there is little stretch – meaning that unless you have elastic the socks will either fall down, or not stretch enough to get over your heel. Socks like bedsocks where you wouldn’t be walking around in them all day could possibly be made with other yarns like our chunky boucle cotton for soft snuggly bedsocks, but they will fall down!
