This is one of our favorite high-twist yarns and is a great all-rounder. The base is a joy to dye and knit. It sucks up the dye and speckles work really well, as do many different dyeing techniques. The fabric holds its shape well thanks to the yarn’s bounce. This could be used for socks, although Sheila’s Gold is the equivalent yarn containing nylon, which is specifically designed for socks. Sheila’s Sock is a superb garment yarn and is a great choice for children’s clothing as it is soft and long lasting.
