Copper Twist is both playful and practical, and utterly unique! It was originally designed as a sock yarn in a typical fingering-weight, but has a texture all its own with a superwash merino core and a wrap of nylon embedded with copper filament.

The copper was added for its antimicrobial properties (perfect for socks!) but Copper Twist works up beautifully in everything from cowls to garments to hats and more. And we love the way it dyes up, with an almost tweedy effect due to the wrap taking the dye ever so slightly differently than the merino wool.
