Malabrigo's Ultimate Sock is hand-dyed in their characteristic style: rich, complex colour with depth that changes as the light shifts: on a base specifically spun for durability rather than just softness. The 75% superwash merino gives it the comfort you'd expect from Malabrigo, and the tighter spin compared to their other lines means it holds up better to the wear a sock demands. At 402m it's generously yarded for a full pair. Hand-dyed in small batches, so buy enough for your project from the same dyelot. Machine washable.

yarn adoption profile: the specialist

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.
