It finally happened: Malabrigo has a true sock yarn! Meet Malabrigo Ultimate Sock!
Malabrigo Sock has long been one of my favorite yarns, with it’s gorgeous merino wool, tight twist and stunning hand-dyed colors. I’ve used it for dozens of shawls, sweaters, and accessories - but when it comes to knitting socks, merino wool really needs a bit of nylon to reinforce it. So imagine my excitement when Malabrigo announced Ultimate Sock, their new line of 75% superwash merino, 25% nylon sock yarn! It’s just as soft and crisp as the original Malabrigo Sock, but now with the perfect bit of reinforcement for hard-wearing socks.
Their tonal colorways are as beautiful as always, and they are perfect for showing off textured stitches. The kettle dyed colors enhance the stitchwork, rather than competing with it as heavily variegated colorways do. I’ve picked out some gorgeous sock patterns to show off Ultimate Sock, pick a favorite color (or three) and cast on some socks! They’ll be ready in time for the first cold snap.
