This sturdy, colorful, superwash sock yarn is made up of a blend of superwash wool for comfort and warmth and nylon for strength.

It even makes beautiful garments, like sweaters and shells, where its hand-crafted colors can get the attention they deserve.
Hawthorne comes in four dye styles, each as delightful as the next, and they mix and match beautifully for projects that use multiple colors.

STATIC
Static is released in limited-edition, TV-inspired colorways, making it a great yarn for collectors.

Stroll Hand Painted and Stroll Tonals come in 100g hanks, so you’ll have enough yarn for a pair of socks without worrying about the natural variation that can occur with hand-dyed yarns. If there’s a fingering weight project, odds are good that there’s a perfect Stroll to match!

SWISH FINGERING
With no extra strong fibers like silk or nylon to reinforce it, Swish Fingering makes incredibly soft but delicate socks, and nylon reinforcement thread can be held double with it on the toes and heels if desired to create sturdier socks. It’s all wool and can be dyed any shade a crafter could imagine without any concern about a secondary fiber taking color differently.

IMAGINATION
With 25% Alpaca, Imagination is one of our warmest sock yarns. It’s wonderfully cozy and can be dyed any color you can imagine. Because Imagination does not feature superwash Merino or superwash Alpaca, pieces made in it must be hand washed. For that reason, it’s best used for special socks—rather than everyday socks—as well as accessories like gloves and shawls.

GLOSS FINGERING
With silk for strength instead of Nylon, Gloss Fingering is a luxurious but strong sock yarn. It has a hint of sheen that highlights textured stitches. Unlike most sock yarns, Gloss Fingering does not feature superwash wool, so pieces knit in it must be hand washed. For that reason, it’s best used for special socks—rather than everyday socks—as well as accessories like gloves and shawls.

HAWTHORNE FINGERING
Hawthorne’s 2-ply, high-twist construction creates a very round yarn when compared to our other sock yarns. It’s uniquely bouncy and creates gorgeous textures and cables. The fine superwash Highland wool holds saturated colors well, making it a great base for handdyed techniques. It’s a sturdy sock yarn, but Hawthorne also makes lovely accessories.

PIMA COTTON VS TANGUIS COTTON
COTTON
Pima cotton's fibers are two inches longer than standard cotton, which makes it a very smooth, breathable, and strong fiber for your knitting projects.
Suggested yarns: Billow, Lindy Chain, Shine, Snuggle Puff, Woolen Cotton, Comfy Tanguis Cotton is also durable and stronger than regular cotton, but it is naturally more absorbent. By blending Tanguis Cotton with linen, the linen fibers add extra strength and softness. Each time your project is washed, it will only get softer, which makes it wonderful for kitchen and bath accessories, as well for garments for kids and adults.
Suggested yarns: CotLin, Bare Cotton Boucle

GENTLE AS COTTON, AS STEADFAST AS LINEN
CotLin
CotLin is a cool and lightweight Tanguis cotton and summer linen blend perfect for washcloths and spa gifts and summer knits for children and adults. Tanguis (tangwiss) cotton has a very soft hand, excellent absorption, and, because it is a naturally white fiber, a high affinity for dyes. The Belgian linen adds the characteristic flecks and additional absorbency with very low elasticity - helping to alleviate stretching in the finished knit. Summer linen has an extended growing period which results in a longer, stronger fiber. When blended with the already strong Tanguis cotton, it makes a durable, wearable, and soft yarn. The knit fabric will get softer with each wash too. DK | 70% Tanguis Cotton, 30% Linen. $5.29/50g skein - 123 yds.

MERCERIZED COTTON
Suggested yarns: Lindy Chain and CotLin + +
Mercerization is a process applied to spun cotton yarn that increases the absorption of dye and adds shine to the finished fiber. The resulting yarn is bright with a smooth sheen.
Suggested yarns: Curio and Animation
Blending linen with cotton gives our lightweight CotLin and Lindy Chain yarn extra strength and softness. Each time your project is washed, it will only get softer, which makes it wonderful for kitchen and bath accessories, as well as for garments for kids and adults.

Knit Picks' responsible manufacturing promise
HERDSMAN
Our partners in Peru are dedicated to promoting suitable living accommodations for their alpaca herdsman. The alpaca producers spend their lives in some of the country's most remote locations, at extremely high elevations. Our partners have developed comfortable ecological housing, made from locally-obtained materials, equipped with state of the art facilities such as solar power, running water, an environmentally-friendly sewage system, and plant nurseries. These cottages are also built on the herdsman's land, as an investment between partners.

COMMITMENT TO THE ANIMALS
Over the past 20 years, our Peruvian partners have been conducting a comprehensive heritability study on their flocks. Through this study, they have compiled the world's widest and most complete database on alpaca breeding, which improves the overall health of their flocks and ensures proper care based on genetics. Additionally, the innovative shearing technique they perfected has improved the yields of their annual alpaca shearing operation while enhancing the wellbeing of the animal and increasing safety for the shearing team. This method of shearing has now been adopted as the official national standard for Peru, which has positively impacted all animals in the region.

If you're using DPNs, and the beginning of the round is where it switches from one needle to the next, you can't put a marker on the needle itself (it will just fall off), so putting a removable marker in the knitting will help keep track of where the beginning is."

foursquare NEEDLES
GREAT FOR: GREAT FOR:
Foursquare needles take the same laminated birch as the rest of our needles and square it. Smooth, flat sides fit perfectly against your fingers and gently rounded corners offer a comfortable, secure grip.
Note: Foursquare needles can be sized with our standard View Sizer. However, your knitted gauge may vary from the same size round needle.
Available in: laminated birch wood Majestic and Sunstruck colorways, in a full range of interchangeable, fixed circular, and cable needles.
Lovingly referred to as “shorties”, these are exactly like interchangeable needles, but shorter! Featuring the same laminated birch or slick nickel and smooth joins, the tips measure just 2¾".
With their specially made cables, they measure 16" from needle point to needle point. The shorter tips allow for a rounder overall shape to better negotiate the tight circumference of small projects like sleeves, cowls, and hats.
Available in: stainless steel and multiple laminated birch wood colorway sets. Also sold individually in US Sizes 4–10 (3.5–6mm).
