This is the Zebra version of type 49128 Sheila’s Gold Sock. This bouncy base has pre-dyed sections of black running through it. It is fun to dye, and you can go from really subtle contrasts to very bright colours. It sucks up the dye and speckles work brilliantly on the non-black sections. The high-twist construction is very robust. The fabric holds its shape and has gentle texture. It works really well for socks, garments, and is a great choice for children’s clothing as it is soft and long lasting.
