King Cole Footsie 4Ply – 4905 Watermelon

Description

The Hardwearing 4Ply That Keeps Your Socks Going Strong

King Cole Footsie 4Ply is built with sock knitting firmly in mind, giving you a yarn that can take the daily wear and repeated washing that hand-knitted socks demand. With 430 metres per 100g ball, you have generous yardage to work a pair of socks from cuff to toe without reaching for a second ball.

A Crisp, Smooth Yarn That Works Up Neatly on Fine Needles

The blend of 93% acrylic and 7% PBT gives Footsie 4Ply a smooth, slightly springy feel that slides easily through your fingers as you work. The PBT content adds a natural stretch and bounce, helping your finished socks hold their shape around the heel and foot. Stitch definition is crisp and clear, so any simple ribbing or textured stitch pattern will show up beautifully.

A Colour Range Ready for Every Sock Drawer

Footsie 4Ply comes in a broad palette of solid and self-striping shades, from classic neutrals to brighter, cheerful tones. Whether you fancy a tidy pair of plain ankle socks or a cosy cable-knit bed sock, there is a colour here to suit the recipient.

Practical, Easy-Care and Built to Last

The acrylic-rich composition makes Footsie 4Ply machine washable, so your hand-knitted socks can go straight in with the rest of the laundry — no special treatment required. It is a reliable, budget-friendly choice for knitting gifts such as children’s socks or a textured baby bootie set, where durability matters as much as softness.
