About Symfonie Terra

Terra from Symfonie Yarns, made by KnitPro, is a fingering (4-ply) sock yarn of 75% superwash extrafine merino and 25% polyamide. Each 100 g skein holds 437 yards (400 meters).

The merino is soft and takes dye well, and the polyamide adds strength so socks wear well. It's hand-dyed in small batches, with colors from vibrant to subtle semi-solids, about 27 shades including Jodhpur Blue, Turmeric and Mahogany.

It's for knitters and crocheters who want hard-wearing socks, though it suits any fingering-weight project that needs durability, from shawls to baby garments.

Best for

  • Socks
  • Shawls
  • Baby garments
  • Fingering-weight accessories that get lots of wear

Working with it

The listing suggests US 1.5–3 (2.5–3.25 mm) needles for 28–32 stitches and 32–40 rows in stockinette to 4 inches. For socks, a firm fabric at the smaller end of that range wears longest. One skein is generous for a pair of socks. Hand-dyed in small batches, skeins can vary, so if a project needs two, alternate them. Terra also works for shawls; a larger needle opens the fabric and shows off the semi-solid dyeing.

Care

The listing says machine wash up to 40°C (104°F). Dry flat or on sock blockers.
