Malabrigo Ultimate Sock

Malabrigo Ultimate Sock is a smooth, tightly spun fingering-weight yarn designed for durability, beautiful stitch definition, and everyday wear. Made from 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon, it combines Malabrigo's signature softness and hand-dyed color with the strength needed for socks and frequently worn accessories.

Unlike softer single-ply fingering yarns, Ultimate Sock has a firm, round structure that holds its shape beautifully over time. It's ideal for socks, but also a fantastic choice for shawls, lightweight garments, and accessories where crisp stitches and longevity matter. Malabrigo's rich, hand-dyed colorways bring depth and variation to even the simplest patterns.

Why We Love It

• Durable merino-nylon blend that's ideal for socks and longer-lasting knits.
• Firm, plied structure with excellent stitch definition.
• Soft enough for next-to-skin wear, yet strong enough for frequent use.
