Are you missing new colors to knit the family’s socks? Then Mayflower has some really delightful color combinations for you to start on in this Universe Venus series. The yarn is a classic 75% wool / 25% nylon mix and is durable. A good and fun yarn, for the whole family, that never gets old to knit with.

For a standard pair of socks up to size 40 (UK: 6.5, US: 8.5), two 50 g (1.71oz) skeins of Venus Sock Yarn suffice, for bigger sizes we recommend three skeins.

If you want to see other color combinations, then Mayflower has actually created three more series of this Universe series. Check out the links at the top of this text.

The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2076-311). Find more information about the certification at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/

I loved working with this yarn! Soft to the touch and no splitting while working. The repeat of the colors made it easy to create matching socks. This is the first yarn I used from my first order and I was convinced that buying from Hobbii.com was a wonderful choice. I bought multiple skeins taking advantage of the bulk pricing. A great value! Looking forward to the next project for the balance of the yarn.

I love the way this yarn works up and I love working with it. It flys off my needles and makes beautiful socks. The colors are beautiful, and while I personally didn’t like the specific order of the striping pattern, it still worked up to be a beautiful and comfortable sock that I love wearing.

What a great sock yarn, I bought several colours and so look forward to making gorgeous socks. The blue colour mix I’ve just completed is lovely and the orange/red/purple now on my needles is so vibrant. The yarn has good body and is sure to wear well.

I have been using this yarn to make baby singlets and jackets. It's nice and soft, colourful and can be washed frequently.
I certainly will purchase more of this yarn for my work with our local hospital and support group for new moms.

Very pretty and consistent self striping pattern. The texture is soft, but still just coarse enough to be nice to work with. It produced a lovely and durable set of socks for me.
