First Impressions

Upon receiving my skein of Squishy Sock Base from Hidden Pond Yarns, I was immediately struck by the softness of the yarn. Comprising 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon, this blend ensures durability without compromising on comfort. The yarn is delicately hand-dyed, which adds a unique depth to each skein, making it ideal for projects where colour subtlety or boldness is desired.

 

Texture and Knitting Experience

As its name suggests, Squishy Sock Base lives up to its promise of squishiness. The yarn glides effortlessly over the needles, making it a joy to work with. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a novice crocheter, you’ll appreciate the smoothness and elasticity of this yarn. The stitch definition is impeccable, highlighting intricate patterns beautifully.

 

Colour Palette

Hidden Pond Yarns offers a diverse range of colours in their Squishy Sock Base line. From rich jewel tones to soft pastels, each shade is carefully curated to inspire creativity. What impressed me the most was the colourfastness of the yarn; even after several washes, the colours remained vivid and true.

Versatility and Use

While Squishy Sock Base is primarily designed for socks, its versatility extends beyond footwear. I found it ideal for shawls, cowls, and even lightweight sweaters. The nylon content provides added strength, ensuring longevity in high-wear items like socks.

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, Hidden Pond Yarns’ Squishy Sock Base is a testament to the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Whether you’re looking to knit a cosy pair of socks or embark on a larger project, this yarn delivers both in terms of performance and aesthetic appeal. While slightly on the premium side, its luxurious feel and durability justify the investment for serious crafters and hobbyists alike.
