Review by Simply Knitting Technical Editor, Kirstie McLeod
Regia has recently added six more dramatic colourways to its Kaffe Fassett Design Line sock yarn, giving you over 20 vibrant and lively shades to choose from.
Designed exclusively for Regia by the man himself, the Kaffe Fassett colourways range from the pretty spring colours pictured here to bold autumnal hues.
The yarn is a joy to knit with and is not your typical self-striping yarn: the colours blend together as you knit to give you a unique wave effect.
The 25% nylon content makes for hard-wearing socks. Machine wash and dry flat. You will need two balls to make a pair of adult socks.

The knitters said: Regia Design Line – Exotic Colour "Fabulous colours. Nice and soft." -- Elle "Vibrant. Cool stripes." -- Elizabeth "Love this! Squishy loveliness – and wonderful colours! AND is that a wave I see? 11/10" -- Jess "Soft but not as soft as other Regia yarns. Shame patterning not properly shown in magazine as it looks as though the yarn flashes!" -- Helen "Nice and soft." The team said: "Love the waves – they add that special touch to the colour palette you'd expect from expert Kaffe Fassett." -- Elizabeth B, Production Assistant "Nice to knit with. Not especially drapy but that means socks will stay up well. Feels hardwearing." -- Miriam, Production Editor |
So our overall conclusion? The unique wave effect is a hit!
Have you used Regia Design Line sock yarn?
We'd love to hear what you think of Regia Design Line sock yarn so if you've used it, please leave a comment!
As with all writing, it's better to stick to what you know firsthand: it's easy to judge the colour through a computer screen but rather harder to tell if it's splitty or how well it washes! Please do also bear in mind that the spinners and dyers may read your comment.
