What makes LITLG Twist Sock Yarn a great choice for knitting socks and accessories?

LITLG Twist Sock Yarn is a premium Superwash Merino Wool Yarn blended with 20% nylon for added strength. The high-twist construction means your socks and lightweight accessories will be not only super soft, but also durable and resistant to wear and tear. You’ll love the smooth and even stitches, making your finished pieces look professional and feel comfortable against the skin. With 400 yards per 100g skein, there's plenty for a pair of adult socks or a lightweight shawl.

How does the high twist of this yarn affect my knitting projects?

The high twist in LITLG Twist Sock Yarn creates a springy, resilient strand that helps stitches pop with definition. This makes your cables, lace, and other stitch patterns look crisp and clean. It also helps minimize pilling and ensures your hand-knitted items hold their shape over time—even with frequent washing. Whether you’re making socks, shawls, or lightweight sweaters, you’ll appreciate the way this Superwash Merino Wool Yarn knits up.

Are the colors true to what I see online, and how do hand-dyed skeins vary?

Each skein of LITLG Twist Sock Yarn is hand-dyed, which gives the colors rich tonal and speckled depth you can't find in mass-produced yarns. While we do our best to accurately represent the shades (like Wild Rosebay, Lush, and Moorlands) in our photos, each skein is unique—so you might notice slight variations within the same colorway. If you need multiple skeins for a project, we recommend alternating them every couple of rows for a beautifully blended finished piece.

How should I care for items made with LITLG Twist Sock Yarn?

Although this is a Superwash Merino Wool Yarn, hand-dyeing and nylon blend require a bit of TLC. To keep your socks and accessories looking their best, hand wash them in lukewarm water with a gentle wool wash, and lay flat to dry. This helps preserve the yarn’s vibrancy and prevents stretching, while the nylon ensures your finished project will remain durable and functional, even with repeated wear.

What can I make with a single skein, and is there a beginner sock tutorial available?

With 400 yards per 100g skein, you can easily knit a pair of adult-sized socks, a lightweight hat, cowl, or a small shawl. The yarn’s softness and strength make it perfect not only for socks, but also for baby items, mitts, and other finely detailed knitwear. For those new to sock knitting, we offer a beginner-friendly sock tutorial on our site to guide you every step of the way with this wonderful Superwash Merino Wool Yarn.
