From the maker: Farmer's Daughter Fibers
Bear Paw Sock has been a fan favorite since we introduced it for Sock Squad and we are finally making it a permanent addition to FDF! This 3-ply yarn has great stitch definition, and the grey yak makes the colors come out richer. We have loved using it for socks, sweaters, and everything in between. You can pair this yarn with Mighty Mo or Oh Dang! for texture, or pair it with Squish Fingering to really play with colors! Please note the Yak in this yarn is a NON-SUPERWASH, so we recommend hand washing anything you make with Bear Paw, including socks, to avoid any possible felting.
