easy care wool
Easy care wool is yarn that is safe to wash on a cool, gentle cycle. This could be yarn that is naturally resistant to felting, or has been treated in some manner to be so. Easy care yarn is not a good choice for felting projects.
wool
Wool is a textile fibre produced by the shearing of sheep. The breed of the sheep, where it was raised, and how the fibre was treated after shearing can all affect the final characteristics of wool. While some is quite harsh and rough, other wool can be luxuriously soft and squishy. As a fibre, wool is very good at trapping heat, and is one of the few fibres that stays warm even when wet.
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.
