Mitto's notes

The DROPS sock yarn: wool with 25% polyamide to stand up to wear, soft and machine washable. With 205 metres per ball, it goes a long way.

What it's for

Socks, gloves and children's clothes that go through the wash often. The printed colours make their own stripes and patches without changing yarn, and each dye lot varies slightly, which is part of the effect.

How many balls

Pair of adult socks: 2 balls. Child's jumper: 4 to 5. These are rough figures: always check the pattern.

Pairs with

It belongs to group A, like Baby Merino, Alpaca and Safran. For softer, single-colour socks, Baby Merino is the alternative.

Care

Machine wash at 40 °C on a gentle cycle, no fabric softener, and dry flat. Buy all the balls of one colour from the same dye lot.

About this yarn

Hard wearing as only a sock yarn can be, DROPS Fabel is a 4 stranded yarn that is superwash treated, which makes it machine washable and easy to care for. Compared to regular sock yarns, DROPS Fabel is spun in a softer wool quality, which makes it an amazing all-round yarn, suitable for far more than socks - try it for baby garments!

Both print and long print colours in DROPS Fabel are produced with a method called “fancy dyeing” that differs from other methods in that each dye lot has small variations in both pattern and nuance. This is no fault or defect, but part of the yarn's character.

Knitted samples in this shade card show the transitions you get when knitting a few number of stitches, as in socks, so you can expect the colour gradient to look different/vary in projects with a different width.
