Fingering Weight Sock Yarn - Durable Luxury for Your Handmade Footwear

Fingering weight yarn (also known as "sock weight") sits at approximately 14-16 WPI (wraps per inch), making it ideal for creating fabric with excellent stitch definition and a comfortable thickness. Typically worked on US size 1-3 needles (2.25-3.25mm), this versatile weight creates socks with the perfect balance of cushion and fit.

What sets our sock yarn apart is the thoughtful fiber composition. We select blends that combine softness with strength - usually merino wool for warmth and cushioning, nylon or polyamide for durability and stretch, and sometimes a touch of cashmere, silk, or mohair for luxury. This careful balance ensures your beautiful handknit socks will withstand the rigors of daily wear.

Each skein provides approximately 400-450 yards - perfect for a pair of adult socks with some yarn to spare. Our vibrant colorways range from subtle tonals to bold variegated options, with many featuring special dye techniques that create fascinating patterns as you knit.

Beyond socks, fingering weight yarn works beautifully for shawls, lightweight garments, baby items, and accessories where you want detail without bulk. The generous yardage makes it economical for larger projects too!
