Opal Eiszeit DK weight 8-ply is a cosy, self-striping sock yarn from Opal, part of their playful Eiszeit ("Ice Age") collection. The thicker DK weight delivers extra warmth, cushio ning, and, of course, quicker knitting while retaining Opal's signature durability and self-striping. Made from 75% superwash virgin wool and 25% polyamide (nylon for added strength), the yarn is naturally breathable and elastic. The superwash treatment makes it machine-washable and resistant to felting and pilling, so it's ideal for everyday wear. Key Features: Weight: DK / 8-Ply (150g per ball). Recommended Needle Size: 4mm to 5mm (US 6 to US 8). Popular For: Heavier socks, cosy slippers, hats, scarves, cowls, mittens, or even lightweight children's sweaters. Care Instructions: Machine washable (cool/warm wool cycle recommended). Blend: 75% Superwash Virgin Wool, 25% Polyamide (Nylon). Length: 320 meters (350 yards). Tension/Gauge: 20 stitches x 28 rows = 10cm / 4". We recommend machine washing yarn that contains synthetic fibres using the GUPPYFRIEND Washing Bag. See projects made with this yarn on Ravelry.
