Knitting with heart and world record quality

With the world record sock yarn from Woolly Hugs you become part of an extraordinary knitting project with heart and social significance. This premium sock yarn combines proven quality with a strong common goal: knitting to help - and making history in the process.

The classic blend of 75% virgin wool and 25% polyamide ensures pleasantly warm, durable and dimensionally stable socks that stand up to frequent wear. The balanced yarn structure ensures an even stitch pattern and a pleasant knitting feel - ideal for hard-wearing socks suitable for everyday wear.

Knit along - for the longest sock line in the world

The initiators of this special project are bookseller Miriam Cahannes, Veronika Hug, Susanne Oswald and Bernd Oswald. Together they want to beat the current world record of 35,500 self-knitted so cks on a washing line.

After the event, all the socks knitted will be donated to cold weather buses, aid buses and stationary aid centers in Germany as well as to corresponding institutions in Switzerland. The "Sock World Record" association was founded for this purpose. The aim is to raise public awareness of the issue of homelessness, create understanding and collectively donate at least 36,000 pairs of socks - for more warmth, dignity and humanity.

You can start knitting now. The official kick-off will take place at the Swiss Yarn Festival 2026. The participants will then knit together for a year before the actual world record attempt takes place at the Swiss Yarn Festival 2027.

Details about the wool:

• 75% virgin wool - warming, temperature-regulating, natural

• 25% polyamide - robust, retains its shape, durable

• Ideal for long-lasting socks - hard-wearing, suitable for everyday use, comfortable

• You will receive 6 x 100 g - 1 ball of each color shown

Look forward to a sock yarn that not only impresses with its quality, but also with its message. The result is socks that warm, bring joy and do good at the same time - stitch by stitch, with heart and responsibility.
