💜 💚 🪻 Bloom & Bramble - 75% Superwash Merino & 25% Nylon 4-ply Sock Yarn💜 💚 🪻
Shaped by Highland light and the thistle’s resilience - the spirit of Scotland.
Discover Bloom & Bramble, a hand-dyed 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon 4-ply sock yarn that pairs softness with durability — perfect for knitting socks that are both beautiful and hard-wearing. Inspired by the rugged Scottish hillsides where thistles bloom amid bramble and heather, this yarn carries a story in every skein and an earthy tonal palette that brings depth and character to your projects.
Superwash merino ensures easy care and smooth stitch definition, while the nylon adds strength and resilience — a classic combination favoured for sock knitting and fine accessories.
Bloom & Bramble evokes late-summer fields, with soft purples, greens and heathered tones blending together like blossoms and bramble under Highland light. The gentle tonal shifts and occasional pale highlights are a signature of small-batch, artisan dyeing — each skein is slightly unique.
Fibre Content: 75% superwash merino wool, 25% nylon — perfect balance of softness and strength
Weight: 4-ply / sock weight
Hand-dyed in Scotland in small batches — nuanced colour variation in each skein
Smooth, machine-washable yarn thanks to superwash treatment
Ideal for socks, accessories, and lightweight garments
This classic sock yarn blend gives you:
Breathable softness from merino wool that’s comfortable against skin
Added durability and elasticity from nylon, ideal for socks, cuffs and heels
Clear stitch definition — great for textured socks, lace, or fine accessories
Colour depth that stays vivid through knitting thanks to quality dyeing techniques
Bloom & Bramble is perfect for knitting:
Classic everyday socks with personality
Lightweight shawls and wraps
Gloves or mitts with long-lasting wear
Fine fingering-weight sweaters or cardigans
For larger projects or multiple skeins, alternate skeins every few rows to blend small tonal differences smoothly throughout your fabric.
To keep your hand-dyed yarn looking its best:
Machine wash on a gentle cool or wool cycle (superwash fibres are more forgiving)
Use a mild wool wash and cool water
Lay flat to dry; avoid tumble drying and excessive heat
Squeeze gently — do not wring
Choose your packaging: Eco‑Light compostable bags with a QR story link, or upgrade to a gift‑ready Story Box with a printed story card with thoughtful extras designed for a beautiful unboxing
Each skein arrives with a thoughtfully written explanation offering insight into the heritage and inspiration woven into the colour-way.
Bundles come with carefully curated extras that reflect the spirit and storytelling at the heart of Thistle Yarns.
