Hard wearing as only a sock yarn can be, DROPS Fabel is a 4 stranded yarn and is superwash treated, which makes it machine washable and easy to care for. Compared to regular sock yarn, DROPS Fabel is spun in a softer wool quality, which makes it an amazing all-round yarn, suitable for far more than socks - you can even use it for baby garments! With one of the largest colour charts in the DROPS assortment, DROPS Fabel is available in 3 different types of shades, prints, long Prints and even plain shades.
Both print and long print colours in DROPS Fabel are produced with a method called fancy dyeing that is different from other methods, each dye lot has small variations in both pattern and nuance. This is not an error, but an element of the yarns character.
This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 25.3.0099), Standard 100, Class I. This means that it has been tested and found completely free from harmful chemicals and that it is safe for human use. Class I is the highest level, and it means the yarn is also suitable for baby articles.
