What Are the Different Types of Sock Yarn?
Sock yarn is knitting yarn used to knit socks. Sock yarns are available in different types and thicknesses. The thicker the yarn used, the thicker the finished knitted socks will be. Some knitters look for discount yarn to use for knitting socks. Since a pair of socks is a fairly small thing to knit, different colors and types of discount yarn could be used rather than a specific sock yarn. However, it’s important to use yarn of the same weight or thickness to complete the pair of socks. Otherwise, a bumpy texture may be created and this may affect the comfort level when the socks are worn inside shoes. Variegated or multicolor yarns can create the look of texture in knitted socks while giving a smooth finish.
