This listing is for 1 skein of Hedgehog Fibres Sock in color Pool.

About the yarn:

Hedgehog Fibres' Sock base is the flagship: 85% superwash merino / 15% nylon, 383 yd / 350 m in a 100 g skein, finished as a round 4-ply that holds up to actual sock wear without losing the bounce. Hedgehog's signature is splash-dyeing — speckles flicked onto a saturated ground rather than painted in stripes — and *Pool* is one of the clearest examples in the catalogue: an emerald-and-aqua ground with rust and ochre speckles flicked across the strand for a wet, oxidised-copper effect in the knit fabric. Best worked at 7–8 sts/inch on a US 1–2.5 (2.25–3.0 mm). Hand wash cold; lay flat to dry.

About Hedgehog Fibres Sock:

Hedgehog Fibres is Beata Jezek, dyeing yarn out of a studio in Cork, Ireland since 2009. The brand essentially defined the modern splash-speckle aesthetic — Hedgehog's saturated-ground-plus-speckles language was widely imitated through the 2010s, and the studio remains one of the most recognisable indie hand-dye brands in the world. Hedgehog is current: the studio is still active in 2026, shipping internationally from Cork and selling through a handful of US LYS partners.

Sock is the flagship base — the 85/15 merino-nylon round-ply Hedgehog reaches for when she wants the speckles to read clean against a saturated ground. *Pool* is a current colourway, hand-painted and splash-dyed in small kettle batches. This particular skein is in original twist with the Hedgehog band still on.
