Mixtape is Opal's self-striping and self-patterning sock yarn designed around the energy and mood of a favourite mixtape: colourways that feel personal, a little nostalgic, and full of character. Opal is well regarded for the quality of their self-patterning, which is consistent and well-engineered. The 75% wool and 25% polyamide base is durable and machine washable, with a generous 425m that comfortably covers a full pair. A good yarn for knitters who want their socks to say something.

designed for a job, and excellent at it

Mixtape sock yarn is a yarn that we would categorize as a specialist. 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.

Designed for socks, this yarn holds up to wear while maintaining stitch definition and elasticity. It’s spun with extra twist and reinforced with nylon, giving it extra strength and resilience for high-wear projects.

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.
