Superwash treated sock wool

Hard wearing as only a sock yarn can be, DROPS Fabel is a 4 stranded yarn that is superwash treated, which makes it machine washable and easy to care for. Compared to regular sock yarns, DROPS Fabel is spun in a softer wool quality, which makes it an amazing all-round yarn, suitable for far more than socks - try it for baby garments!

Both print and long print colours in DROPS Fabel are produced with a method called “fancy dyeing” that differs from other methods in that each dye lot has small variations in both pattern and nuance. This is no fault or defect, but part of the yarn's character.

Knitted samples in this shade card show the transitions you get when knitting a few number of stitches, as in socks, so you can expect the colour gradient to look different/vary in projects with a different width.

Made in EU
This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 25.3.0110), Standard 100, Class I. This means that it has been tested and found completely free from harmful chemicals and that it is safe for human use. Class I is the highest level, and it means the yarn is suitable for baby articles (ages 0-3).
