A perfect blend of warmth and strength to make a hardwearing sock yarn that can stand up to your affection and everyday use. Tough Love Sock is our best-selling yarn and knits up beautifully into fine-gauge sweaters, shawls, mittens and hats, as well as socks! This 3-ply yarn is so versatile, knit it firmly for hard wearing socks, knit it loosely for drapey shawls, or knit it doubled for a great worsted-weight substitute.

I was interested in this colour for quite some time and was so happy to find it at Knit City Calgary. The base is soft and can’t wait to use it in a special project.
Sweet Georgia knows colour, and this wool is a dream to work with. I purchased a skein of Black Truffle at Knit City in Calgary (2026) and my daughter also loved it, so I hurried back the next day for a second skein. These will be gorgeous chocolately socks for winter!
I was trying out a new sock pattern and bought some Charcoal to make my usual colour of black-ish socks. (I am a bit colour-challenged when it comes to socks, I admit). They turned out brilliantly; I can show them to Charlotte at our next Knit Noon. Thanks!
This Tough Love Sock in
Amber Ale is absolutely beutiful. Thank you and at a good discount price too.
The color difference between the photo and the skein I recieved is a big bummer. I was really excited to knit with what basically looks like a soft rainbow cloud (all that color variation!) but the skein I got is a much more uniform soft sage green.
The tough love sock is still a wonderful yarn but I wish the picture of foggy dew was more representative of the product recieved.
