425 yards / 388 m per 4 oz / 115g skein
A perfect blend of warmth and strength to make a hardwearing sock yarn that can stand up to your affection and abuse. Tough Love Sock is our best-selling yarn and knits up beautifully into fine-gauge sweaters, small shawls, as well as socks! Spun from 80% superwash and super soft merino and 20% nylon, 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.
Handpainted skeins offer a different way to work with colour in a variety of projects such as knit and crochet colour pooling scarves, stripes in sock knitting, or for playing with colour in weaving. In Felicia Lo's Handwoven Colour course at the School of SweetGeorgia, learn about how handpainted skeins can be used to create beautiful Faux Ikat woven scarves.
Suggested gauge for sock knitting: US 0-1 (2-2.25mm) | 8 sts/1"
