B-TEX SOKI Sock is made from 85% 20-micron merino wool / 15% polyamide and comes in 100 g / 3.53 oz skeins with approximately 385 m / 421 yd per skein. Developed with socks in mind, it combines the comfort and natural elasticity of merino wool with the added abrasion resistance of polyamide. Its fine weight also makes it suitable for lightweight garments and colorwork projects.

Fiber and construction of SOKI Sock

20-micron merino wool makes up 85% of SOKI and contributes softness and natural elasticity. The 15% polyamide reinforces the blend for projects exposed to frequent abrasion, an especially useful characteristic in socks.

Its 4-ply construction creates an even strand, while the mélange palette introduces subtle tonal variations within each color. Ply describes how the strand itself is built and should not be confused with its Sock / Fingering yarn-weight category.

How does it feel and behave?

SOKI feels soft and flexible as stitches are formed. Its fine yarn weight and 4-ply construction work well for ribbing, detailed stitches and color combinations while maintaining clear stitch definition.

For everyday socks, follow the gauge recommended by your pattern. A fabric that is too open will not make the same use of the reinforcement provided by the polyamide content, particularly in areas exposed to repeated friction.

As with any garment or sock yarn, make and wash a gauge swatch before beginning when fit and finished dimensions are important.

What do its fibers bring to the finished fabric?

The final result will also depend on stitch pattern, gauge, garment construction and care.

What to make with SOKI Sock

• Everyday socks: its primary application, especially for socks designed to be worn inside shoes.
• Lightweight sweaters and cardigans: for garments that make use of the softness and elasticity of merino without adding excessive bulk.
• Colorwork, shawls and mittens: for detailed patterns and combinations of mélange colorways.

Explore designs made with SOKI Sock

The Budetex Design Library connects our yarns with real projects from designers in the knitting and crochet community. SOKI appears in both sock patterns and garments, showing how its fine weight and reinforced merino blend can be used beyond its primary application.

Use these projects as inspiration and always check the original pattern for gauge, size, yardage and any specific material requirements before purchasing your yarn.

How much yarn do I need?

Each 100 g / 3.53 oz skein contains approximately 385 m / 421 yd. Divide the total length required by your pattern by the length per skein and round up. If you are working with several colors, calculate each color separately.

Actual yarn requirements vary with size, gauge, stitch pattern and any modifications to the design. Your pattern yardage and gauge swatch should always take priority over a general estimate.

SOKI Sock or another yarn?

Compare fiber content, construction and yardage as well as yarn weight before substituting one yarn for another. Two Fingering-weight yarns can behave differently when one contains a reinforcing fiber and the other is made entirely from wool.
