Opal Bouquet Mouliné 4-Ply Sock Yarn
Opal Bouquet Mouliné 4-Ply Sock Yarn is a fingering-weight self-patterning yarn blending coloured strands with a fine black thread for a distinctive mouliné effect. The result is rich, organic marling and shifting patterns that appear naturally, evoking garden blooms and layered florals rather than conventional stripes.
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 Bouquet Mouliné delivers socks and accessories with depth, contrast, and an understated botanical 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.
