About the yarn:
Wollmeise Sockenwolle Superwash is Claudia Burkhardt's machine-washable sock base — 100% Schurwolle (virgin wool) superwash, 574 yd / 525 m in a 150 g skein, plied for hard wear without losing the depth-of-dye Wollmeise is collected for. Gauge sits at 7–8 sts/inch on US 1–2.5 (2.25–3.0 mm). *Red hot Chili* is a long-color-run gradient — oxblood, brick, coral, and bright orange in sections that play out across a long span of the skein rather than repeating every few yards, which gives a striking unbroken colour fade in a worked-up shawl or pair of socks. The Sockenwolle base is rated for the machine wool cycle (still cool water, still flat-dry) — handy for actual sock wear without losing the kettle-dyed depth.

About Rohrspatz & Wollmeise Sockenwolle Superwash:
Rohrspatz & Wollmeise (Pfaffenhofen, Germany) has been Claudia Burkhardt's studio since 2006. The release model is famously scarce — Wollmeise webshop drops sell out in minutes, and individual colourways rarely come back as the same dye lot. Sockenwolle Superwash is the studio's machine-washable sock base, plied a touch firmer than Pure for hard wear. *Red hot Chili* is a long-running Wollmeise colourway in the studio's signature long-color-run gradient style, dyed in the deeply saturated reds-and-oranges palette Claudia has been working in for years. This skein is in original-twist condition with the German Wollmeise Sockenwolle band still on.
