Undyed Yarn | Superwash Merino Single Ply sock yarn | Selene Sock

Selene Sock is a beautifully squishy, undyed fingering weight single ply superwash yarn. Make the most of its natural white colour or use it to try your hand at home dyeing with food colouring.

  • superwash (non-felting) 100% merino wool
  • 366 meters or 400 yards
  • single ply: dyes look more vibrant in this yarn base, and fibre has a very soft (a little more delicate) feel to it.

Description

Selene, my single ply sock yarn base, is just so very soft. Single ply yarns are squishier and bouncier to the touch, making them the perfect fibres for warm beanies or a cosy cowl.

This undyed yarn has a lovely natural white colour. Knit or crochet it as is, or try your hand at home dyeing before tackling your project – food colouring is perfect because you won’t need any dedicated dyeing equipment.

This single ply sock yarn has a total of 400 yards or 366 meters for you to enjoy.

Selene Sock is one of my go-to yarns due to its well defined ply definition and how well it handles colour without felting. Find out more in our Fibre Bases and Info page.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Keep yarn in a dry room away from direct sunlight. Airtight boxes are recommended. Don’t place anything heavy on top of the skein to avoid squishing it.
  • I recommend adding lavender sachets to the storage container for pest prevention.
  • Hand wash your finished product separately using wool-specific detergents, dry flat. Hand dyed fibres may bleed a little in the first couple of washes.
