Hard wearing as only a sock yarn can be, Drops Fabel is a four stranded yarn and is superwash treated, which makes it machine washable and easy to care for. Compared to regular sock yarns, Drops Fabel is spun in a softer wool quality, which makes it an amazing all-round yarn, suitable for far more than socks - try it for baby garments! With one of the largest colour ranges in the Drops assortment, Drops Fabel is available in five different types of shades: uni colour, a selection of solid colours; mouline, where two colours are plied together; print, where each shade is made of various colours that repeat regularly; long print, similar to print colours but with longer repetitions of each colour and spray print, which gives the shades a lovely tweed effect. Both print and long print colours in Drops Fabel are produced with a method called “fancy dyeing” that differs from other methods in that each dye lot has small variations in both pattern and nuance. This is not an error, but an element of the yarn’s character. 

Drops offer thousands of free patterns, covering their entire range of yarns, all of which are available to download and print out for free from the Garnstudio website - Garnstudio are the manufacturers of Drops yarn.

You can find details of all the free patterns made specifically in Drops Fabel yarn by visiting the Drops Fabel pattern section of the Garnstudio website.

Please note: Each ball is wound differently, which means that each ball may start at a different point of the pattern repeat. Please be aware of this when making matching socks.
