Discover the Mysteries of the Deep with the 'Atlantis' Collection

ATLANTIS by Lang Yarns is a versatile all-season yarn created for knits that are meant to be worn regularly. Its blend of 60% virgin wool and 40% acrylic brings together the natural character of wool and the hard-wearing quality needed for everyday projects. With 135 metres in each 50-gram ball, it is a balanced choice for garments, socks and accessories where durability matters as much as a carefully finished fabric.

Long-staple Corriedale wool with natural character

The virgin wool in ATLANTIS comes from Corriedale sheep. Corriedale wool has a long staple and a somewhat coarser structure than very fine wool qualities. Its handle is therefore distinctive, natural and slightly rustic rather than airy or exceptionally fluffy. This makes ATLANTIS particularly appealing when you want a substantial wool character and enough structure to support the shape of a practical knitted piece.

If your skin is sensitive to wool around the neck, knit a swatch first and hold it against your skin for a few moments. This simple test lets you assess the feel before casting on a sweater, scarf or close-fitting collar. The yarn is also well suited to cardigans, vests and other garments worn over an additional layer, where its authentic wool texture can be enjoyed comfortably.

A practical gauge for garments and accessories

ATLANTIS is designed for 3.5 to 4 mm needles. The gauge provided by Lang Yarns is 24 stitches and 30 rows over 10 cm. This gauge offers enough detail for carefully worked ribs, cables, moss stitch and other textured patterns, while remaining suitable for larger garments. Making your own swatch will help you compare your tension with the recommended gauge and see how your chosen stitch pattern looks in the yarn.

Use ATLANTIS for an everyday sweater, a structured cardigan, a vest, a hat, mittens or a scarf. Its hard-wearing blend also makes it a practical option for socks and other accessories that receive frequent use. As an all-season yarn, it can be considered for transitional pieces as well as knitted garments intended for cooler periods of the year.

Hard-wearing and not prone to lint

The long fibres of Corriedale wool contribute to the firm, durable character of ATLANTIS. Its 40% acrylic content adds further resistance, creating a yarn that is designed to last and is not prone to lint. These qualities are especially valuable when a project represents many hours of careful work. A finished garment should continue to reward that effort after it has moved from the needles into your regular wardrobe.

ATLANTIS also has a Superwash treatment. For care, use a detergent made for washing wool and do not add fabric softener. A preliminary swatch gives you the opportunity to check the gauge, the feel of the fibre and the definition of your selected stitches before committing to the complete project.

Traceable all the way back to its origin

The Trace your Yarn programme allows ATLANTIS to be traced back to its origin. This provides meaningful transparency about the material without relying on a vague statement of provenance. It is a useful feature for knitters who want to understand more about the yarn in which they are investing their time, skill and creativity.
