I love the Fair Isle effect of this yarn.
The wool is beautiful and has knitted up into two perfect socks. Excellent value

Opal Schafpate is a premium range of self-patterning knitting yarn, known for its vibrant colourways and high-quality blend of wool and polyamide. Ideal for socks and accessories, it offers excellent durability, softness, and a unique, eye-catching pattern with every stitch.
Opal have teamed up with Viridian, a UK-based yarn wholesaler, to bring back some much loved favourites from previous Schafpate ranges.
The self-striping yarn creates intricate, repeating patterns as you knit, without the need for complex techniques. It features a blend of colours that gradually shift, forming beautiful stripes, zigzags, or other designs. Perfect for socks, accessories, and garments, this yarn adds visual interest and texture to your projects with minimal effort.
