Of course, you'll find everything you need for knitting socks at Maschenfein, too. We provide you with beautiful pattern, carefully selected knitting kits and the necessary accessories.

Knitting has long ceased to be a stale hobby. On the contrary! It meets the spirit of the times, decelerates and simply does you good. How practical, then, if you always have a small project with you. And socks are simply ideal.
There are many different techniques for knitting socks. You can start at the cuff or at the toe, knit the heel directly or add it later ... This doesn't make it any easier to choose the right pattern. For sock beginners, we therefore recommend the Basic Socks from Paula_m. They are simply knitted "from the top", i.e. from the cuff to the toe. Advanced sock lovers are sure to enjoy the wonderful Laine book "52 weeks of sock knitting". 46 designers have contributed designs to this collection. And to be honest, one design is more beautiful than the next. For example, the Craspedia model by Andrea Mowry, which we have in the knitting set with Edelweiss Alpakka by Kremke Soulwool.

The right yarn
Whoever "can" sock yarn for sure is Regia/Schachenmayr. Regia developed the first sock yarns some 70 years ago, and later added the wonderful premium yarns to their range, which we carry in their entirety here at Maschenfein. In fact, we are so enthusiastic about the "Krönchen" yarns that we recorded our own podcast episode about them with Schachmayr. But other manufacturers also carry beautiful sock yarns. For example, we love Merida from LAMANA or Pinta from Pascuali.

The right needles
Whether it's double pointed needles, crasy trios or sock wonders, you're sure to find the right needles for you here. Whether you prefer to make the small rounds on the double pointed needles or on the short circular needles, you just have to try it out.
At Maschenfein you can find needle sets in every conceivable length. The materials range from bamboo to birch wood and stainless steel.
Addi has special needles in its range that have been specially developed for sock knitting: CraSy Trio are three needles, each with a kind of joint in the middle. Almost like a very, very short circular knitting needle. Your sock lies on two needles and you knit off with the third. The Sock Miracle, on the other hand, is a super short circular needle that you can use to knit socks and gloves in the round. It takes a bit of practice to sort your fingers in such small rounds. It helps if the tip of the needle you are working with is longer than the other needle you are knitting from.

More useful accessories
As is often the case with knitting, needles and yarn are not enough. With the help of tensioners in the right size, you can easily shape your finished socks after washing. Patterns in particular will then really come into their own. Wool detergent also ensures that you can enjoy your knitted socks for a long time.
