Opal Limited Edition Hanks 4-Ply Sock Yarn

Opal Limited Edition Hanks is a 4-ply sock yarn created for a special 30th-anniversary release. It comes in traditional hank form and is printed in Hechingen, Germany, by the family workshop that still handles dyeing, steaming, washing, and finishing under one roof.

The yarn is the classic Opal blend: 75% superwash virgin wool and 25% polyamide. The wool gives warmth, softness and breathability. The nylon adds the toughness and shape-holding that everyday socks need.

Each colourway in this limited collection offers a distinct printed palette — Sun Spectacle, Northern Lights, Blue Jeans and Fruit Sorbet. One 100g skein usually makes a pair of adult socks; larger sizes may need a second skein. Use it for socks, shawls, gloves, lightweight sweaters, or any project that rewards a long, printed colour run.
