Proper Sock Karoo Gold

cowgirlblues is a Cape Town-based dye house and design studio specialising in South African wool and mohair. Started by Bridget Henderson, who after an MBA at Insead, a stint at Luis Vuitton Moet Hennessy in Paris, and a successful career as a strategy consultant returned to Cape Town and took up knitting again, experimenting with texture, patterns and colour. Frustrated at not being able to find suitable wool locally, she decided to start spinning and dyeing her own, and so the cowgirlblues brand was born.

Proper Sock is a yarn designed specifically for making everyday wearable socks. With 25% nylon it’s durable. And the 75% wool gives a beautifully soft feel.

75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon

I use a 2,5mm for socks, but I knit tightly. Some people use a 2mm or a 2,25mm.
