Treat your feet (or someone else’s!) to the vibrant charm of Opal 4ply self-striping sock yarn. Famous for its playful colour changes and durable blend of 75% wool and 25% nylon, Opal creates socks that are as fun to knit as they are to wear. Each ball knits up into effortless stripes and patterns, with no need to change colours or weave in extra ends.

Perfect for socks, but just as lovely for shawls, baby knits, and accessories, this yarn is soft, breathable, and machine washable—making it a firm favourite with sock knitters around the world. Whether you’re drawn to bold brights or subtle tones, there’s a shade in the Opal range for every personality.

Opal frequently releases limited-edition collections and collaborations, which means some colourways are only available for a short time. If you see one you love, don’t wait—it might not be back!

Each 100g ball gives you approximately 425 metres of yarn—plenty for an adult-sized pair of socks.
