Cotton-nylon fingering for summer socks and lightweight accessories. Machine washable and cool against the skin.

What is Cotton Sox?

Cascade Yarns Cotton Sox is a super fine from Cascade Yarns. Composition: 80% cotton / 20% nylon. One skein holds 400 m of yarn and weighs 100 g.

How the yarn behaves

Mostly cotton with enough nylon to give the stretch and rebound that plain cotton lacks. Behaves much more like a wool sock yarn on the foot than a typical cotton would — doesn't sag into the shoe over the day, and has enough memory to come back to shape after washing. Cool against the skin, so a strong pick for hot-weather socks, mitts and summer accessories. Crochets neatly with a clean stitch. Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. A multi-colour Splash variant adds variegated colourways.
