SUPER SOXX MRINO COLOUR 4-PLY (a review)

I’ll be honest — I don’t usually get emotional about sock yarn. But the first time I tried SUPER SOXX MERINO COLOUR 4-PLY, I caught myself grinning mid-row. It’s that rare combination of luxurious merino softness and sturdy, dependable nylon that makes you feel like you’re knitting something truly worth keeping.

My First Impressions

SUPER SOXX COLOUR 4-PLY immediately feels like the next step in sock yarn evolution — cloud-soft premium merino combined with the reassuring strength of nylon reinforcement. The yarn has a refined, smooth touch that suggests comfort, but with a construction that’s clearly engineered to last. Its generous yardage means a single ball will comfortably handle a full pair of adult socks, with colour effects designed to add visual interest without overpowering.

Knitting Experience

On 2.5 mm needles, the yarn glides effortlessly while maintaining excellent stitch definition. The merino content gives a gentle elasticity that makes for comfortable knitting sessions, while the nylon ensures your stitches hold their structure. The 4-ply construction produces a balanced, even fabric that’s easy to work with whether you’re making simple stocking stitch socks or more intricate patterns.

Wearing and Performance

Finished socks feel indulgently soft against the skin but remain practical enough for everyday wear. The combination of merino warmth and nylon resilience means they hold their shape, resist pilling, and stand up well to repeated machine washing. At 40°C, colours stay vibrant, stitches remain neat, and the softness endures.

Where It Excels

  • Everyday luxury socks that balance comfort with durability

  • Gifts that will impress knitters and non-knitters alike

  • Colour-work or texture stitches that benefit from crisp definition

  • Sensitive feet needing both softness and support
