Opal 6-ply offers all the trusted performance of Opal’s classic sock yarn in a slightly heavier weight, making it ideal for warmer, hard-wearing socks. Each 150g ball contains just 5 metres fewer than standard 4-ply, yet delivers 50% more weight—so you still get plenty of generous yardage to enjoy. Proudly made in Germany.

For top-down socks, try the DK-weight Vanilla Socks, or explore the toe-up DK-weight Basic Bed Socks. Both patterns are free and available on Ravelry.
