Exmoor Sock is a trusty favourite around these parts, celebrating our Devon surroundings with local fibre in shades named in our traditional dialect of years gone by. It’s a workhorse yarn, hard wearing and perfect for creating your favourite, cosy socks, but it’s also dreamy in any 4ply project you can think of.

Our Exmoor Sock yarn enhances the durable character and bounce of the fibre from our local Exmoor Blueface sheep – a cross breed of the Exmoor Horn (full bodied and hard-wearing) and the Bluefaced Leicester (renowned for its softness and lustre).

We’ve added Falklands Corriedale to enhance softness and stitch definition, naturally dark Zwartbles giving extra bounce and a subtle fleck of colour, and a touch of Nylon for added strength and durability.

Our Exmoor Sock yarn not only celebrates Exmoor, but is designed to be perfect for socks, whilst still having the versatility to suit garments and accessories that relish a hard wearing, machine washable yarn. It is available in 50g skeins for added versatility in small projects – making it easier to mix and match colours for stripes and contrast details.
