Description

Product information "Novita Nalle Raita - 8171 clown"

Novita Nalle Raita yarn is a wool and polyamide blend for socks with a pattern of alternating stripes. The stripes form without changing yarn, so the pattern develops as you knit.

Is this yarn suitable for socks, and is it durable?

Yes, polyamide adds abrasion resistance to the knitted fabric, making this blend suitable for a pair of socks. Knitters also use this yarn for striped sections alongside solid-colour yarn; check the thickness and tension required by the pattern against the specifications and start with 3–3.5 mm circular needles.

How much yarn do you need for a pair of socks?

The amount needed depends on the sock size and your tension. Check the knitting pattern for the number of balls needed for your size.

Before you begin, make a tension square and wash it to check your tension. If you would like to add a solid colour alongside the stripes, you can choose one from other Novita yarns.
