Review by Simply Knitting Technical Editor, Kirstie McLeod
Hand-dyed in small batches, each skein of Knitting Goddess yarn is completely unique, so make sure you buy enough to complete your project in one go!
A new addition to the range, this alpaca/merino blend makes deliciously cosy socks – and as it’s slightly thicker than a typical 4ply, you can use thicker needles, making it quick to knit up.
Simple stitches show off the beautiful colourways well, and with the range changing every dye day, you’ll be sure to find one you love.
Each 100g skein contains enough yarn to make a pair of socks, gloves or a hat – or even a lacy scarf. Hand wash only to keep your socks looking their best.

The knitters said: "Soft and very pretty." -- Elle "Thick and warm." -- Elizabeth "Yum – but ever so slightly scratchy. 10/10" -- Jess "My fave – I love this! A mat yarn with good stitch definition and the lovely bloom of alpaca. I love the colours which are unusual." -- Helen The team said: "I usually insist all my socks are machine washable, but this is scrummy – well worth the extra effort!" -- Elizabeth B, Production Assistant "Would make gorgeous house socks to lounge around in feeling comfy." -- Miriam, Production Editor |
So our overall conclusion? A soft, thick sock yarn, great for cosy feet!
