Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn is soft, springy, and available in 10 vibrant colourways. 80% wool makes it easy and fun to knit with, and the 20% nylon adds strength so your toes and heels won't wear through. Two skeins makes a lovely pair of socks. Can be washed in the machine without fear of shrinkage, but drying in the drier will wear your socks out faster. Note: This yarn is not self-patterning--the hand-painted colours knit up as dyed, giving a random effect.
