Pleiades wool free sock yarn is the ideal yarn for not only socks, but shawls accessories and garments too. Due to the elastic content, this yarn holds it’s shape wonderfully and is great for items where you need that stretch – so waistbands, cuffs, crop tops and even swimwear!
We like it for hat brims so you can ensure the hat stays on your head in windy weather – you can then use a different yarn for the body of the hat! We have patterns for this in the patterns section of our website.
This yarn blooms with washing, meaning it softens, and fills in gaps, so it gets softer, and hides stitch imperfections.
**This yarn produces a slightly gradiented effect- there will be a darker grey section at the top (or bottom depending how you use it) of your work. Supplied as 2 x 50g skeins **
