Favourite Sock – pure Merino 4 ply/fingering weight wool superwash hand dyed yarn 100g – Dark Tower (charcoal grey)
Shade: Dark Tower – semi-solid dark charcoal grey
Our collection of neutral greys is inspired by London’s modern architectural landmarks. The darkest of the collection, this shade is dedicated to The Shard and the new wave of tall skyscrapers. Unlike their Brutalist predecessors that celebrate their structural materials, these towers disguise concrete skeletons with sharp, tinted glass. They loom heavily on the skyline despite their reflective qualities.

Favourite Sock is super-soft, yet hard-wearing enough to be used for socks. It has beautiful stitch definition and unparalleled 'smooshiness'. It's the perfect signature yarn to showcase our full palette of dye effects.
Not just for socks, it's perfect for any 4 ply/fingering weight wool project, especially baby clothes, gloves and lightweight sweaters, and being a superwash yarn, it's easy to care for too.
Our merino is farmed in Argentina and is guaranteed mulesing-free. Farmers are supported by the mill to raise their sheep under ethical farming practices. It is spun in Peru, where the fleece is first graded by highly-skilled workers to ensure consistent quality.
