Socks & More 4ply is the signature sock yarn from Norwegian designers Arne & Carlos, whose colourwork patterns and Nordic-inspired aesthetic have earned them a devoted following. The self-patterning colourways are developed to complement their designs, so if you're a fan of their work this is the natural yarn to use. The 75% superwash wool and 25% recycled nylon base is a practical, durable sock construction: the wool provides warmth and comfort, the nylon adds longevity at wear points. Generous yardage at 420m makes it sufficient for a full pair of socks with room to spare.

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.
