Polwarth Superwash & Nylon

Polwarth Superwash & Nylon is a specially crafted British fibre blend, designed for durability and washability—perfect for sock spinners and hand-dyers who want reliable performance and vibrant colour retention.

Features

Blend: Fine Falkland-grown Polwarth wool treated with a superwash process, blended with 15–20% nylon for strength and elasticity 
Fibre Diameter: Approximately 20–24 microns (typical of Polwarth), offering softness with built-in durability
Staple: Combed and spun-ready; the nylon ensures the braid holds its shape under wear
Texture: Smooth, springy, and resilient—ideal for tight-ply sock yarns
Colour Compatibility: Superwash finish ensures even dye uptake; nylon takes the same dyes as wool, enabling bright, long-lasting colour 

Ideal For: Spinning washable sock yarns, sturdy accessories, multi-ply knits, hand-dyed projects, and machine-washable garments

Delivers a strong, structured, yet soft yarn that resists felting and maintains its integrity through repeated wear and washing. Its superwash treatment makes it user-friendly in dyes and easy-care in finished garments
