From the refreshing blues of "Willi Wassertropfen" to the vibrant hues of "Fritz Früchtebringer," each colour-way introduces you to a different adorable character. Just like how each little hero has their special power, every project with this yarn creates its own unique pattern. Each 100g ball contains enough yarn to craft a complete pair of adult socks – your own wearable tribute to childhood wonder!
Whether you're drawn to the sweet tones of "Nina Nektar" or the brave colours of "Gustav Gladiator," this yarn collection brings charm to your needles. The "Susi Superspeed" colour-way races with energy, while "Funny Flatterflug" soars with playful shades. "Luna Lufti" floats with dreamy pastels, and "Hans Heupferdchen" hops with grasshopper-inspired greens.

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?
