My Favourite Wool & Wool Mix Yarns
13
items As a yarn addict I have an extensive and highly currated collection of yarns (yeah, I know, it's just a ridiculously large stash!) I prefer wool yarns or wool blend yarns, especially non-superwash, as they are perfect for colourwork and much better f...
A fabulous quality yarn at such an affordable price. 100% Superwash wool. Knits up as a true DK and performs well for colourwork despite it being superwash. Doesn't grow much when washed but I expect that is due to the Blue Faced Leicester fibres whi...
ColourLab DK Yarn
One of the best yarns for colourwork. My new favourite for projects like cowls as its non superwash and woollen spun so fairly windproof after a wash or too. Knits up to a DK or Sport weight at 91m per 50g.
Sandnes Peer Gynt
A single ply yarn that can be a bit rough but is glorious for colorwork and softens after a wash or two. The perfect yarn for a sweater, especially if you're impatient like me! The single ply doesn't really matter if you're going for colour definitio...
Lopi Lettlopi - All Colours
My all time, top favourite, best ever, perfect colorwork yarn! Well, it is Norwegian afterall & they are the masters of colourwork. Can you guess I love it? lol. It's perfect for mittens and handwarmers as the wind doesn't stand a chance of getti...
RAUMA FINULL
The best non-superwash yarn you can get almost anywhere that is affordable and durable. It's such good value because the mill doesn't wash the spinning oil out so the cost saving is passed onto the customer. It blooms better than any yarn I have ever...
Supersoft - Wool
A really buttery soft superwash 100% merino yarn that is fantastic for next-to-skin garments. I've knitted a cami top from this and its soooo comfy! Washing merino is always a “reshape whilst damp” job but it's worth it. Wool Warehouse often have off...
Yarnsmiths Merino DK Superwash - All Colours
This 75% superwash wool, 25% nylon, yarn is one of the best sock yarns ever. I've been knitting with it for years and it's extremely popular so not likely to be discontinued any time soon. It comes in a huge range of colourways and they always do a s...
Signature 4ply Yarn
My favourite superwash aran weight yarn which is so difficult to hold of but worth the hassle. It is so robust that even my other half hasn't managed to wear out his socks in this! Great for socks for knitters who lack patience when needing socks.
Notiva Yarns
Happy Happy Joy Joy yarn! Opal are a yarn brand I've only been knitting with for a couple of years but it's climbing the popularity charts quickly. It's durable without being uncomfortable and washes so well. 75% Superwash Wool 25% Nylon is the ultim...
Opal Surprise Sock Yarn (4065)
Fancy a go at dyeing your own yarn? Then you can't go wrong with Opal Yarns Undyed yarn. It's inexpensive and because it's 75% superwash wool it takes acid dyes beautifully. Speckles strike well on it to if you use a high concetration of acid.
Opal Undyed 4ply Sock Yarn
Another great quality sock yarn that really lasts & has even resisted felting despite my many washing mistakes! It comes in a great range of unusal colourways and is the staple 75% superwash wool 25% nylon.
Regia Yarn | Quality Yarns for Socks, Hats and More
Now, while this is technically sock yarn, it's waaaay to good to be hidden in shoes. The softness is unbelievable so I use it for drapey beanine hats like the Mussleburgh hat by Ysolda (see my beginner pattern list). The colourways are limited but th...
Highland - Sock yarn
A really affordable and hard wearing sock yarn. Not as soft as others but it lasts a fair while longer. It tends to keep its shape better and doesn't need reblocking. Great value with some fab colours!
King Cole Zig Zag - All Colours
