Hedgehog Fibres
Twist Sock
Hedgehog Fibres Twist comes to us from Ireland and is hugely popular with knitters for its amazing hand dyed colour palettes. It offers great stitch definition and a tight twist that helps to keep the shape of your knitwear, even after multiple wash and wears. It’s made from a blend of 80% superwash Blue Faced Leicester wool and 20% nylon - BFL sheep are known for their long, shiny fibres, which makes yarn from their fleeces especially hard wearing.
If you want to geek out about Twist, just talk to Laura - she loves Hedgehog for knitting the FREE Very Vanilla sock pattern.
