Lorna's Laces Yarn - Shepherd Sock

This yarn is the most common weight for traditional socks. But Lorna's Laces colors are far from traditional. Have a fabulous time knitting or crocheting with the unique hand dyed colors in Shepherd Sock.

Shepherd Sock is also an ideal weight for lacey shawls or wraps. While knitters and crocheters don't think of sock yarn for infants, this weight is ideal for those small bodies. Shepherd Sock yarn is very soft, and is superb for infants because it washes so well.

Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn is available in tonals as well as multis, this 80% Superwash Merino Wool 20% Nylon blend is soft, yet strong enough for great socks.

The tonals do well in all sorts of socks, from lace to cables, with a subtle color shading they add interest and depth to create stunning socks. Crochet for a delicate fabric, ideal for infant and baby garments, or adult cool weather garments.
