Creative Uses for Drops Fabel: Beyond Sock Making

Drops Fabel yarn was designed as a sock yarn but it is way too pretty to not use for other projects.

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. 

I decided to make a crochet detachable collar. Such a great way to add a pop of colour without changing the whole outfit.

Hope your day is magical and you notice the small precious moments.

Love & healing hugs
