| The Bead and Opal Wool Queen presents Sockenwolle!
Opal Sock and Sweater wool is produced in Germany, to a unique blend of 75% percent wool to 25% polyamid. One 100g ball (ca 425m) yields one very colourful pair of socks.
Opal Wool is:
- Machine washable
- Non-felting
- Allergy tested
- Frequently and voluntarily tested by
- UFL
- German Environmental and Research Studies
- Healthy Clothing, Healthy Living, Healthy Environment
Suggested needle size is 2.5mm or less, and a 10 x 10cm square has approximately 28 stitches, 36 rows.
The Bead and Opal Wool Queen also has a range of patterns available, and Opal Wool is good for more than just socks - see the vest, pictured right.
Take a look at some free knitting patterns too - a cute child's beanie, and a child's jumper too.
Wondering what to do with the leftover bits of wool? Take a look at this picture for a cool idea! (Warning, large picture.)
