Estako Jolly Socks is a hand painted sock yarn spun from 75% superwash merino wool and 25% polyamide. Each hank holds 3.52 oz (100 g) and about 360 yds (330 m). It is a Fine (Sport) 2 weight, so it works on 2.5-3 mm needles (US 1-4, UK 14-10) or a 4-5 mm crochet hook (US G6-H8, UK 8-6) at a gauge of 29 stitches and 42 rows over 4 in (10 cm). The polyamide is what gives the yarn its high twist and the abrasion resistance that heels and toes need, and the superwash finish means finished socks can go through a 30 C machine cycle. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry and use a cool iron. Because the yarn is hand painted there are no dye lots, so buy enough hanks for a whole project at once. Made in Turkey and certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX. This hank is Mango Mojito, a warm caramel and tan tonal brown.

- Merino wool is a type of wool that comes from the Merino breed of sheep. It is highly prized for its softness, warmth, and durability, and is widely used in the production of clothing, blankets, and other household items. Merino wool fibers are finer and softer than those of other breeds of sheep, which makes them more comfortable to wear next to the skin. They are also highly breathable, which makes them suitable for use in clothing for a variety of climates.
- Superwash Merino wool is a type of wool that has been treated to make it machine washable and less prone to shrinking. This is achieved through a process called "superwashing," which involves treating the wool fibers to make them more resistant to shrinking and felting. Superwash Merino wool is popular for use in clothing, blankets, and other household items because it is soft, warm, and easy to care for.
- With a high twist for durability, this yarn is wonderfully sturdy with a bounce and resiliency perfect for socks, shawls, sweaters and more. Since there is no dye lot number, it is recommended to buy enough yarn at the same time to complete each of your projects.
