Jawoll sock yarn has been tried and tested a million times and for many years! The cute roll of soft yarn includes reinforcement yarn for heels and toes to extend the life of your socks and great for darning when you finally need to! Lang Yarns Jawoll is the Rolls Royce of sock yarns. The wool is sourced from Corriedale sheep from Chilean Patagonia and only wool of the finest provenance is used. During shearing the best parts of the fleece are selected and sorted out giving you the softest strongest sock yarn for knitting or hooking the best socks or the softest garments.
We think this will work really well for vintage 3 ply patterns as it is fine and soft enough for those with sensitive skin. It will give the proper "woolly" look too for vintage knitting.
The average thickness, the diameter of the fibre, is just 25 microns (1 micron = 1/1000 mm) so the wool feels very soft and is very comfortable to wear. The Corriedale sheep live all year round in the natural wilds of Patagonia. Their wool remains white and grows to an average staple length of 10cm. This makes it take dye well, the colours are brilliant and the finished yarn is highly resistant to pilling. In most shades there is a spool of reinforcement yarn for knitting in to strengthen heels and toes. This will increase the lifespan of your socks. Due to the superior quality of the fibres JAWOLL is also excellent for baby or toddler knits.
