polyamide / nylon
Nylon is a synthetic material that is often used to provide structure, stability and strength to yarns made with other, softer fibres. A nylon content of at least 15% is recommended for socks. -
cotton
Cotton is a plant fibre made from the cotton plant (surprise!). It is absorbent, soft, very easy to care for and a popular choice for garments and household items like washcloths and towels. As a plant fibre, however, it will not retain warmth very well, so is less ideal for warmer winter items. -
merino wool
Merino sheep create a wool with a long, smooth fibre that is lightweight, warm, and soft. Like all wool, it has excellent breathability and does an excellent job regulating temperature in garments. It is a very popular type of wool to use for hand knitting yarn, and is a great choice for socks and garments worn close to the skin. -
superwash wool
Superwash is a treatment method that is used to make wool fibres more resistant to shrinking and felting. There are a different methods used to achieve this, and the methods vary in terms of durability and environmental impact. These yarns often take dye very well, and tend to have a lot more drape and stretch than non-superwash yarns. A hand-dyed yarn may be superwash yet still recommend hand washing: this is to extend the colourfastness. -
silk
Silk is a natural protein fiber, produced by certain insect larvae when forming coccoons. The best known silk is obtained from the larvae of the mulberry silkworm. To produce 1 kg of silk, 104 kg of mulberry leaves must be eaten by 3000 silkworms. As a fibre, silk is smooth and soft, and it is one of the strongest natural fibres. It has excellent drape, but no elasticity the way that wool does.
