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! 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.

Suggested gauge for sock knitting: US 0-1 (2-2.25mm) | 8 sts/1"

You can also find smaller yardages of this same yarn base:
Individual Micro-Skeins: 52 yards / 47 m
Individual Mini-Skeins: 105 yards / 96 m

Or explore Tough Love Sock in a custom colour palette of mini-skeins:
Party of Five Mini-Skein Set: 525 yards / 480 m
Hexa Hue Mini-Skein Set: 630 yards / 576 m

My tough love socks

I’ve been making socks using “tough love sock” yarn for many years , my whole family loves them
The yarn is a pleasure to work with, the colours are amazing, and best of all they wash beautifully, and after many, many washes look just like the day I first blocked them, will never use another yarn
Having said that I love the mohair sock as well

My favorite yarn

I was one skein short, so I ordered. It came quickly- my photos of blocking my sweater are due to my cat swirling it in joy at the squishiness, so this photo will have to do.

Great for shawls

I knit a beautiful Doodler shawl by Stephen West with 3 different shades of purple Tough Love Sock. It blocked out perfectly, so squishy with a lovely drape and really comfortable to wear against my sensitive skin.
