What makes good sock yarn?

Classic sock yarn is about 75 % wool and 25 % polyamide. The wool keeps feet warm and handles moisture, the polyamide makes socks durable. Superwash sock yarn can usually go in the washing machine.

Weight and needles

Most sock yarns are fingering weight with around 420 m per 100 g, knitted on 2–3 mm needles. Thicker 6-ply sock yarn makes warm house and boot socks.
