Lang Yarns Jawoll
Lang Yarns Jawoll is the classic 4-ply sock yarn trusted by knitters for generations — a soft, durable wool and nylon blend built to handle the wear and tear socks see every day. Spun from fine Corriedale wool sourced from Chilean Patagonia and blended with nylon for strength, Jawoll combines next-to-skin softness with genuine long-term durability, plus a clever built-in extra: every ball includes a spool of matching reinforcement yarn for knitting into heels and toes, extending the life of your finished socks. That same reinforcement spool doubles up nicely for darning repairs or even decorative embroidery on finished knitwear, so it's worth keeping hold of even once your socks are done.
Perfect for socks, baby knits, mitts, and lightweight jumpers, available in an extensive shade range spanning true neutrals, vibrant brights, and rich blues and greens, Jawoll is just as suited to mixing and contrasting in colourwork as it is to working up on its own.
