Sock Yarn - Self Patterning. 50g ball of Schoeller and Stahl Fortissima Socka Mexiko Kids Color 036. FREE sock pattern. Wool Polyamide mix

Kids Color Bubblegum 036

Designed for kids socks but they don't have to have all the fun, one 50g ball will knit a pair of socks up to size 11.5 UK ( 30 European or 12.5 US) and you'll need two 50g balls for an adult sized pair. Included is a FREE sock knitting pattern which covers most kids/adult sizes (requires a set of 2.5mm double pointed needles and some stitch markers).

Fortissima Socka Mexiko Color is a 75% wool, 25% polyamide mix which is hardwearing and washable. The Kids Color range knits into bands of colour with a little 'fairisle' section. The third image shows a sock knitted in the Peppermint colourway in the same range (no longer available).

When used for socks the recommended tension/gauge is 30 stitches and 42 rows to 10cm/4inches on 2.5mm needles. The yarn can also be used for a 4 ply pattern with tension/gauge of 28 stitches and 36 rows on 3.25mm needles. There are 210m to each 50g ball of yarn.

I make every effort to show you colours accurately however, there may be some variation in display on different monitors etc

All my yarn is stored in a smoke-free environment
