DROPS - Sock yarn

Lovely knitted socks are something that many of us happily wear throughout our lives. Knitted socks are perfect for the newborn’s small, adorable toes, which needs to be warm all the time. For the older child who is running around at home and does not always remember their slippers. For the teenager where all the elements of the outfit, including the socks, are carefully chosen and needs to match the rest of the look. Lastly, for the older lady, who knits and selects colours and patterns herself for her new socks. In short, knitted socks are for everyone! That is why we have to give our customers great freedom of choice when it comes to socks. In our range, there are many different colours, yarn thicknesses and types that you can use for your new knitted socks.

Quality and diversity

All of our different kinds of sock yarn are from DROPS, and the quality shines through in all of them. DROPS Fabel is the most durable sock yarn you can get. It is 4-threaded and superwash-treated, which means it can be machine washed. 

Fable is, in contrast to regular sock yarn, spun in a very soft and fine wool quality which ensures excellent socks. DROPS Alaska is a classic, untreated yarn made of 100% wool, so the wool is not subjected to any chemical treatment prior to dyeing. This way, the best properties of wool are highlighted in the best way. DROPS Nepal is a different, thick, and luxurious yarn, made of 35% alpaca and 65% wool. This specific blend emphasizes the silky soft surface of the alpaca as well as the shape stability of the wool. These three kinds of yarn are just a small sample of our selection, and if you want other yarn blends there is undoubtedly the possibility to meet all of your needs in our range. 

All the colours of the rainbow

Our different types of sock yarn come in a broad colour range, covering both the beautiful and natural earthy tones as well as the brighter colours and the multi-coloured threads, and your choice will be shown in each sock and you always get a unique design. 

Have any of our sock yarn rolls caught your interest and made the knitting needles long for something new? Then it is fortunate that we guarantee quick and safe delivery, just as we are always ready to advise you if you have specific wishes and visions for your upcoming knitted socks.
