Finally, a wool-free sock yarn! Knitters and their lucky recipients have long clamored for wool-free sock yarn, something that wouldn’t irritate or overheat. Meet CoBaSi, a delightfully robust cotton, bamboo, and silk blend with elastic nylon for a gentle-on-the-hands wool-like stretch. It comes in 50-gram hanks and a wide range of colors, making it the perfect candidate for warm-weather colorwork. Soft and machine washable, this will be a go-to for a variety of hardy garments. The possibilities are endless, so get some CoBaSi and cast on! Find the solid-colored version of this yarn HERE.
