Tenderfoot | Verdigris 112
EYB
EYB’s Tenderfoot is a soft and super squishy heathered sock yarn with rustic appeal.
A true sock yarn, the Merino fibres provide warmth and woolly comfort while a touch of Polyamide adds the necessary strength to produce a hard-wearing fabric.
Not just for socks, Tenderfoot will produce equally satisfying sweaters and cardigans for when light warm fabrics with a rustic hand-feel are desired.

To block or wash your piece, prepare a bath of tepid water and if desired add a few drops of mild detergent or wool wash. Immerse the finished piece and soak for up to 10 minutes. Carefully lift the piece from the water and allow to drain. Gently remove excess water by pressing the fabric between layers of a dry towel. Lay flat to dry.
