Opal Rain Forest 22 4-Ply Sock Yarn
Opal Rain Forest 22 4-Ply Sock Yarn is a fingering-weight self-patterning yarn from our friends at Opal Germany. Our natural world holds the most beautiful treasures; it is a breeding ground for talent from deep underwater to high in the skies. This is the 22nd iteration of Opal Rain Forest yarns - learn more about Opal's "Rainforest Rescue" programme.
The acrobat of the water shapes the most incredible forms in the rippling sea while listening to the singers by the river. The tightrope walker of the blossoms even amazes the magician of the trees. The trampoline jumper in the wind is circled by the juggler of the skies. The dancer in the snow shows her latest routine to the tamer of the forest. Simply gorgeous.
Made from 75% superwash wool and 25% polyamide, it offers wool’s warmth, breathability, and moisture control, with nylon for strength, shape retention, and durability. It is machine-washable and good for everyday use.
Technically reliable and visually layered, Opal Rain Forest sock yarn delivers socks and accessories with depth, contrast, and an understated character that holds up well over time. One 100g ball typically makes a pair of adult socks; larger sizes may need more. This yarn is best suited for socks, shawls, sweaters, gloves, or projects where dynamic colour flow enhances texture and detail.
