Malabrigo Sock 195 Black is a deep, inky black with a classic, timeless finish. Smooth and even in tone, this true black absorbs light beautifully, creating crisp stitch definition and elegant contrast in colourwork. It’s the ultimate neutral — perfect for borders, heels and toes, dramatic lace, or sleek, modern garments.

Dyed on Malabrigo’s luxuriously soft superwash merino base, this colour shines in both simple stockinette and intricate patterns, making it a must-have staple for any knitter’s stash.

'Sock' is a soft, smoothly plied, lightweight sock yarn that is spun from luxurious merino wool treated to make it machine washable for easy care. Dyed in an array of semi-solid and watercolour multi colorways, this delightful yarn certainly makes the best socks and is a great favourite for shawls and scarves. If you are looking for an alternative to pastels for baby and children's wear, why not use 'sock'!!!

Please be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project as each bag is a different dye lot, tagged (*) colors may vary from one to the other even within the same bag and skeins may vary from bag to bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
