Organic Studio Sock
Neighborhood Fiber Co has reintroduced their Studio Sock—now made with GOTS-certified organic wool! Studio Sock is still machine-washable with a sturdy 8-ply construction. However, now they’re no longer using the traditional superwash process, which relies on harsh chemicals to make the yarn machine-washable. Instead, the wool is minimally processed to be environmentally friendly and even softer than before.
While each skein has enough yardage for most sock patterns, this hardy yarn is also excellent for fingering-weight shawl and sweater projects.
