Heritage Tie Dye Sock takes Cascade's reliable merino/nylon sock base and runs it through a tie-dye process over a white ground, producing colour patterns that are genuinely unpredictable: no two skeins will knit up identically. The 75% superwash merino gives it the softness and next-to-skin comfort you'd want in a sock, and the 25% nylon adds the durability a sock needs at heel and toe. If you enjoy the surprise of watching a colourway develop as you knit, this is a particularly fun yarn to work with. Machine washable.

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.
