Knit a pair of socks that practically pattern themselves — Opal is the world's favourite self-striping sock yarn, lovingly made in Germany and beloved by knitters everywhere.

Opal's magic is in the dyeing. Each ball is carefully colour-sequenced so that as you knit, stunning stripes, patterns, and motifs emerge all on their own — no colour changes, no charts, no fuss. Just cast on and watch the magic happen. With 425m in every 100g ball of 4 ply, one ball is all you need for a complete pair of adult socks.

• 75% Superwash Wool, 25% Polyamide — warm, durable, and built to last
• Self-striping and self-patterning — complex designs emerge automatically as you knit
• Machine washable at 40°C — superwash treated, non-felting
• 4 ply (fingering weight) — approx. 425m per 100g ball
• Also available in 8 ply — for warmer socks and quicker knits
• Stocked and shipped from Rangiora, NZ
