Lang Yarns Twin Soxx Merino 4-Ply
Lang Yarns Twin Soxx Merino 4-Ply is a clever self-striping sock yarn designed to help you knit two identical socks from one skein. The colour sequence is repeated twice in the same skein. Start your first sock using the yarn from the inside of the skein. After around 200 metres you will reach a short unprinted section. Cut it off and the same colour sequence begins again for the second sock.
The merino wool gives a soft feel and comfortable wear, while nylon adds strength for long-lasting socks.
