Why is it interesting?β Ready to meet the sock yarn of your dreams? Say hello to the Solemates Sock Set by Freia Fine Handpaints! Featuring two identical 228-yard balls of Shaniko merino fingering, this set makes perfect matched gradient socks.
Why is it interesting?β Not all sock yarn needs to be fingering weight. Sometimes you want to knit something a little warmer OR quicker. But what we love most about this yarn is the BOLD stripes it creates as it knits up. PLUS it's on clearance!

Bamboo Pop Sock by Universal Yarn - Buy It Hereβ
Why is it interesting?β Some folks are allergic to wool, so this cotton bamboo blend is perfect for the wool-free crowd. Not to mention this self-patterning yarn looks absolutely scrumptious!
Why is it interesting?β This fingering-weight sock yarn is made from 100% Superwash Merino wool. With an incredibly vast color palette filled with delicious neutrals and eye-catching neon shades, you'll find endless project opportunities with Malabrigo Sock! The plied nature helps reduce the risk of felting in the wash we recommend any machine washing to be done with a gentle setting with cool water!
Why is it interesting?β While most sock yarns use nylon or other synthetic fiber to add strength and durability, silk is a great natural option. Not only is it nice and strong, but it also will give your socks that silky sheen to put a little bounce in your step.
Why is it interesting?β You already know and love Berroco Vintage, so we are excited to give your a warm introduction to the new sock version of this beloved yarn! With a wide color range, incredibly soft feel, and 437 yards in a skein, this yarn is everything we are looking for to make a pair of socks (plus its machine washable!)
Why is it interesting?β What can we say, KnitPicks has a lot of great sock yarns. This limited edition yarn includes self-patterning colorways inspired by the TV shows you grew up with, like Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons.

The Estonian Button is a cross between a smock and a bobble. Itβs created by slipping extended stitches over other stitches, similar to a slip knit pass decrease, only here you are not decreasing. The final effect is a small horizontal bar that adds some extra texture to your fabric. Itβs a nice decorative technique that can be incorporated in to all kinds of projects.
Knit two socks at a time, while working from the toe up! In this delightful guide, Melissa Morgan-Oakes shares her revolutionary knitting technique that allows you to try on the socks as you work, avoid running out of yarn, and steer clear of the dreaded Kitchener stitch to finish off the toes.
You can apply this exciting technique to absolutely any sock pattern to help you to knit fabulous, perfectly formed pairs of socks for the whole family.
