Step into a Dance of Memories with Opal Funky Wool!

Remember the joy of your first pair of dancing shoes?

Now Opal brings that same magical feeling to your knitting with their whimsical Funky Wool collection! This ingenious self-patterning yarn creates stunning colour transitions that'll have you twirling through memories with every stitch.

From the soft blush of "Dancing Fairy Shoes" to the bold stride of "Seven-League Boots," each colorway tells its own unique story. Just like how each pair of shoes in your life marked a special moment, every project with this yarn creates its own enchanting pattern. Each 100g ball contains enough yarn to craft a complete pair of adult socks – your own wearable journey from "Beloved Baby Shoes" to "Bouncy Sandals"!

Whether you're splashing in "Diving Flippers" or strutting in "Raging High Heel," this yarn hits all the right steps. The "Singing Ballerina Slippers" colour-way whispers of grace, while "Favourite Sneakers" brings comfort to every row. This thoughtfully crafted blend ensures your finished socks will be wonderfully soft yet tough enough for everyday adventures.

Opal - a family company. 


The Zwerger family formula is simple.  Be the best at what they make, employ local families and train them to be the best. Putting sustainable production always as their highest priority.  Supporting sheep farmers, ensuring all of the wool is ethically sourced and then adding colour, design and joy into every ball. 


Back in the day the Zwerger family invented the process for mass producing self-striping wool. Today they are the leaders in global sock wool. Put both together, and yarns depicting the great painters of Europe like Hundertwasser, Van Gogh and others, self-stipe to make a masterpieces on your feet.

 

Why not sponsor a sheep that your Opal socks could come from with their Schafpate project?
