Knitting with ADMIRAL X PRO

Schoppel Admiral X Pro – Premium Professional Sock Yarn with Biodegradable Nylon

Some yarns are good, and some yarns are built to perform. Admiral X Pro from Schoppel is firmly in the latter category. Designed for professional-level results, it combines premium-quality fibres with eco-conscious biodegradable nylon to deliver socks that don’t just last — they excel. This is a yarn for knitters who demand the very best in both performance and responsibility.

My First Impressions

The name Admiral X Pro feels commanding, and the yarn lives up to it. With its professional-grade construction and carefully chosen fibres, it’s clear this yarn was created with serious sock knitters in mind. The addition of Amni Soul Eco® biodegradable nylon provides strength and durability while still respecting the environment — the perfect balance of toughness and conscience.
