King Cole Norse 4Ply gives you a hardwearing yet soft yarn that’s built for projects that take real wear. The superwash wool base means your finished pieces hold their shape wash after wash, while the nylon content adds the resilience you need for socks, mittens, and anything else that takes a beating.
At 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon, Norse 4Ply has a gentle bounce to it that makes it a pleasure to work at fine tension. The surface is smooth enough to show off crisp stitch definition — ideal when you’re putting in the hours on intricate lace shawls or colourwork stranded yokes. It knits up with a neat, consistent fabric that feels comfortable against the skin without being delicate.
Norse 4Ply is offered in a palette that ranges from warm heathered tones to clean, clear solids, giving you plenty to work with whether you’re planning a Fair Isle-style hat or a classic ribbed sock. The colours hold well through repeated washing, so your finished project looks just as good on its tenth outing as its first.
The superwash treatment means Norse 4Ply is fully machine washable — a genuine practical advantage for socks, children’s mittens, or a textured baby blanket destined for regular laundering. The nylon content strengthens the yarn at high-wear points, so heels and toes stay intact long-term. It’s a reliable, honest 4Ply that does exactly what you need it to.
