Flotte Socke Nordic 6ply is a heavier sock yarn: 6ply rather than the standard 4ply: which produces a warmer, more substantial sock with better insulation for colder weather. The self-patterning is Nordic-inspired, with motifs that develop as you knit without any stranding or colourwork technique required. The 75/25 superwash wool and polyamide blend is a proven sock construction: the wool provides warmth and comfort, the nylon adds the durability a sock needs at heel and toe.

temperament: Designed for a job, and excellent at it.

great at: Some yarns are generalists. Specialist yarns are not. These are designed to excel at a particular task: durable sock yarns, sturdy weaving yarns, hardworking cottons for dishcloths and utility knits. When used for their intended purpose, they perform beautifully.

caution: Specialists are happiest doing the job they were designed for. Using them outside that role can lead to unexpected results: less elasticity, different wear, or a fabric that behaves differently than you expect. Swatching is especially helpful if you’re planning to experiment.
