Apricot Milk — 4ply | High Twist Merino Sock Yarn

Apricot Milk is a soft, pale apricot sock yarn with a creamy, gentle warmth. Subtle and versatile, this shade sits beautifully between peach and blush with white tonal changes, making it easy to wear and effortless to pair with other colours.

Hand dyed and hand painted in small batches in Belfast, this yarn is spun from a high-twist blend of 75% superwash merino wool and 25% recycled nylon. The high twist adds strength and resilience, making it an excellent choice for socks that are worn often, while the merino keeps the fabric soft and comfortable against the skin.

As a 4ply sock weight yarn, Apricot Milk is ideal for knitting socks, but it’s also well suited to lightweight garments and accessories such as shawls, mitts, hats, and baby knits. The smooth, even texture provides excellent stitch definition, allowing lace, cables, and textured patterns to shine.

Durable, practical, and easy to care for, this yarn is designed for everyday wear without sacrificing beauty. Each skein is unique, with subtle variations that celebrate the handmade process and the quiet charm of natural fibres.
