Opal sock yarn is made exclusively from wool from German and South American sheep. However, they only get their unique coloring in the factory.

The color is not applied to the wool threads all at once, but one after the other. Each color has its own color drum, which applies the color to the yarn at the right moment.

The dyed wool is fixed with hot steam so that the color is also suitable for household use and is not rinsed out with the first wash - this means that the color is bound into the wool.

In order to prevent the last remnants of the color that may not have been fixed from being transferred to the laundry at home, the wool is thoroughly washed again after the steam bath and then dried

The special material properties

 

 

After washing and drying, the dyed wool is passed through a steam bath again. This makes them particularly soft and fluffy and ensures a particularly pleasant feeling on the skin when worn. The mixture of real new wool with 25% polyamide also makes the yarn particularly hard-wearing.

The now finished threads are rolled up into the well-known ball shape, provided with the collection sleeve and packaged. Now it can be shipped and sold all over the world. The Opal sweater and sock yarn is ready!
