My top 10 favourite sock yarns - tried & tested!

Sock yarn is amazing, but with so many colours, brands and types out there, it can be hard to choose just one! I share my 10 favourite sock yarn brands, and explain why I love to knit with them. I've knitted with all these yarns many times, and am happy to recommend them!

What's your favourite brand or type of sock yarn? Let me know in the comments! I always love a personal recommendation :)

My favourite sock yarns come from low and high budgets, from affordable mass-produced commercial yarns; to small-batch, hand-dyed yarns by independent artisanal companies. I mostly prefer very durable wool/polyamide (nylon) blended yarns, but I have a few options with plant-based reinforcing fibres too!
