Magpie Season – Hand-Dyed Sock Yarn Set

🖤🤍 Magpie Season – Hand-Dyed Sock Yarn Set

It's Magpie Season! And this time, the only thing getting swooped is your knitting needles! 🖤🤍

Inspired by one of Australia's most iconic birds (and their rather cheeky springtime behaviour!), Magpie Season is a striking addition to our Life in Loops hand-dyed sock yarn collection.

Featuring a beautiful combination of Black and White, this colourway captures the unmistakable markings of the Australian Magpie in a classic, high-contrast yarn that's full of personality.

Each set includes a 100g Black and White main skein, paired with a 20g Black mini skein – perfect for creating contrasting heels, toes and cuffs that tie your finished socks together beautifully.

Dyed on our lovely 75% Australian Merino Wool / 25% Nylon sock yarn base, Magpie Season combines the softness of merino with the added strength and durability of nylon.

Whether you're knitting socks for yourself, making a gift for a fellow bird lover or simply love a timeless black-and-white combination, this set is ready to fly straight onto your needles!

This beautiful black-and-white colourway would also look fabulous in fingerless mitts, beanies, cowls, shawls and other lightweight accessories.

Use the Black mini to create a striking border, contrasting details or a beautifully coordinated finishing touch.

🎨 Hand Dyed With Care

Every Life in Loops skein is hand dyed in small batches, meaning no two skeins are exactly alike.

Variations in colour placement and pattern are part of the beauty of hand-dyed yarn, and your skein may vary slightly from the product photographs.

🧺 Caring for Your Handmade Creations

Our merino and nylon sock yarn is machine washable. For best results, we recommend a gentle wool wash using a suitable wool detergent and drying flat to help keep your handmade creations looking beautiful.

Magpie Season – a little Aussie attitude, a classic colour combination and absolutely no swooping required! 🖤🤍🧦
