Arne & Carlos Socks & More 4Ply Yarn

Arne & Carlos Socks & More 4ply Self Patterning Sock Yarn

Arne & Carlos Socks & More 4ply is a self-patterning fingering-weight sock yarn designed by Norwegian knitwear designers Arne & Carlos. Made from 75% wool and 25% nylon, each 100 g skein holds 459 yards (about 420 m), enough for a pair of adult socks. It knits at 30 stitches per 4" on US 0–3 needles and is machine washable and dryer-safe.

Arne & Carlos are known worldwide for bringing the warmth and color of Scandinavian knitting into everyday life, and Socks & More 4ply puts that style right into the ball. Each colorway is engineered to create its own stripes and patterns as you knit, so plain stockinette turns into a cheerful, colorful sock with no charts and no color changes.

The wool and nylon blend gives you the softness of wool with the strength socks need at the heels and toes. Because it’s machine washable and can be tumble dried on low, finished socks fit into real life rather than a hand-wash basket.

Despite the name, this yarn isn’t just for socks. Its fingering weight and generous yardage suit mittens, fingerless mitts, baby hats, lightweight scarves, and colorful accents in larger projects.

Best projects for Socks & More 4ply: adult and kids’ socks, mittens and fingerless mitts, baby hats, lightweight scarves, and colorwork accents in sweaters and shawls.

What’s to love about Arne & Carlos Socks & More 4ply

• The yarn does the colorwork for you. Each colorway creates its own stripes and patterns as you knit, so plain stockinette becomes a bold, colorful sock with no charts or color changes.
• One skein, one pair. With 459 yards in every 100 g skein, you get enough for a full pair of adult socks, with no second skein or dye-lot worries.
• Built to last. The 75% wool and 25% nylon blend combines wool’s warmth and softness with the strength socks need at heels and toes.
• Easy care for everyday wear. Machine wash warm and tumble dry low, so handmade socks can go straight into the laundry with everything else.
• Designed by Arne & Carlos. The Norwegian design duo brings their signature Scandinavian color sense to every colorway, with names like Fall Night, Long Table, and Sun Through Glass.
• More than socks. The fingering weight is just as good for mittens, fingerless mitts, baby hats, and lightweight scarves, and it’s a fun way to add color to larger projects.
• Great for gifting and beginners. Self-patterning yarn makes even a first pair of socks look impressive, and the finished pair is easy for anyone to care for.

Frequently asked questions

How many skeins of Socks & More 4ply do I need for a pair of socks?
One 100 g skein (459 yards) makes a pair of standard adult socks in most sizes. Very large sizes or tall leg lengths may need a second skein.

Is Arne & Carlos Socks & More machine washable?
Yes. Machine wash warm and tumble dry on low.

What does self-patterning yarn mean?
The yarn is dyed in sequences so stripes and patterns form automatically as you knit. You get colorful designs from simple stockinette without changing colors.

How do I make both socks match?
Find the same point in the color sequence before casting on each sock. Many knitters wind the skein into two equal balls, then start both socks at the same color change.

What needle size should I use?
US 0–3 (2–3.25 mm). Most sock knitters use US 1–1.5 (2.25–2.5 mm) for a firm, durable fabric.

Can I crochet with Socks & More 4ply?
Yes. A 2.25–3.25 mm hook works well for socks, mitts, and lightweight accessories.
