Sweet Georgia’s Tough Love Sock is super-popular for a reason,
because it is such a treat to knit with! Hand-dyed in the brand’s
distinctively lush, muted tones, this semi-solid sock yarn knits
up into a fabric packed full of tonal interest and excellent stitch
definition, plus it’s the perfect blend of strength and warmth.
Cast on for robust socks and draping shawls and cardigans.
The wool of rare-breed Castlemilk Moorit sheep is blended
with alpaca to create this fantastic yarn. It feels robust and
woolly, with an impressively soft handle, and would be ideal
for long-lasting sweaters. The natural, undyed shade range
includes a rich chocolate, silver grey and cream. It’s produced
in small quantities from Caithness Yarns’ Scottish flock.
Planning a new project for autumn? We’ve tested a range
of laceweight, 4ply, DK and aran yarns for you to consider
