DESCRIPTION

A wool and cotton blend fingering weight sock yarn with a built-in stretch that makes for a really comfortable finished sock that holds its shape well over time. The cotton content keeps things breathable and a little lighter than a pure wool sock yarn, which makes it a nice option for year-round wear. What makes the Alicante 21 particularly fun to knit is the colour treatment, a stripy gradient with little flecks woven through that shifts as you work, giving your finished project a lively, Mediterranean feel without any extra effort on your part. The colourways are bold and interesting and really shine on simple stitch patterns. Machine washable and great value for the yardage.

Project ideas: everyday socks, lightweight accessories, scarves, simple colourwork
