Hobbitton Oat - Purrfect - 4ply /Fingering sock

Purrfect Sock – Hand-Dyed 4 Ply Yarn

Soft enough for next-to-skin projects and sturdy enough for everyday socks, Purrfect Sock is my go-to all-rounder.

Spun from 80% Australian Extra Fine Merino and 20% nylon, it combines the softness and bounce of fine Merino with added durability for projects that need to stand up to regular wear. With a generous 400 metres per 100g skein, it’s equally at home in socks, shawls, colourwork and lightweight garments.

Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches in Ballarat, so you may see subtle variations between skeins — part of what makes hand-dyed yarn special.

Why You'll Love It

Soft Australian Extra Fine Merino gives Purrfect Sock a lovely feel against the skin, while the nylon adds strength and durability. It's a versatile everyday base that's particularly well suited to socks without feeling like a yarn you can only use for socks.

Care

Machine washable. For the best life from your hand-dyed yarn, I recommend a gentle wool cycle and drying flat.

A Note About Hand-Dyed Yarn

Every skein is dyed by hand, so colour can vary slightly from skein to skein. If your project requires more than one skein, alternating skeins every few rows will help blend any variations beautifully.

Colours may also appear slightly different depending on your screen.

Looking for this colour on another base? Many Cow Cat Creations colourways can be dyed to order on other yarn bases, subject to yarn and dye availability.
