Opal Passion 6-ply yarn is very durable and made from 75% virgin wool (superwash) and 25% polyamide in colourful, earthy tones. This yarn is ideal for knitting warm socks with a unique coloured pattern, but it can of course also be used for sweaters and accessories. One ball is enough for one pair of socks (up to US men's size 10.5).

This mixed 6-ply yarn is available in eight beautiful colour combinations that provide a striped and mixed effect. 

For top-down socks, check out DK-weight Vanilla Socks or the DK-weight Basic Bed Socks that feature a toe-up construction on Ravelry.

Opal sock yarn is known worldwide for its quality and artistry. Opal 6-ply combines all of the great characteristics of Opal's classic sock yarn in a slightly heavier weight. The 150g ball has only 5 fewer metres, but 50% more by weight than standard 4-ply, meaning there's loads of yardage to work with. Made in Germany.
