The socks are knitted with 2-ply 100% wool yarn (350m per 100g). If you prefer more modern options, you can knit with 4-ply sock yarn (75% wool, 25% polyamide)(400m per 100g). This yarn is similar in thickness and is much softer, more durable and flexible, which makes socks or stockings last much longer.

For the main base colour of each pair of short socks you will need :
Approximately 50-75g of base colour, plus approximately 25g for each additional colour.

These amounts are intended as a general guide only.
