Ultra-Durable Super Soxx 6PLY - For Unmatched Comfort and Longevity

A substantial 6-ply yarn for warm, durable projects

SUPER SOXX 6-FACH/6-PLY by Lang Yarns is a sock yarn with more substance than a classic 4-ply option. Its thicker 6-ply construction helps knitting progress more quickly and makes it particularly relevant for autumn and winter projects. South American Corriedale fibres are blended with nylon to provide extra durability. This practical combination is designed first and foremost for warm socks that can be worn regularly and enjoyed over time.

A satisfying choice for quicker knitting

SUPER SOXX 6-FACH/6-PLY provides 410 metres per 150 grams and is worked on 3 to 4 mm needles. This recommended range gives you a clear starting point, which can then be adjusted to suit your personal tension and the requirements of your pattern. The thicker format makes each row feel productive compared with classic 4-ply sock yarn. If you are considering a jumper or an accessory worn close to the neck, knit a swatch and test it against your own skin first. This simple check allows you to assess the handle according to your individual sensitivity before investing time in the complete piece.

Virgin wool strengthened with nylon

The fibre content is 75% virgin wool, Superwash, and 25% nylon. The wool provides the foundation for a warm knitted fabric, while nylon adds the extra resistance required from a yarn developed for frequently worn socks. This is especially relevant for projects exposed to repeated wear and friction. Superwash is a stated treatment of the wool, but careful handling and the supplied washing instructions remain important when looking after the finished work.

Use a gentle detergent intended for wool or delicate fabrics and do not add fabric softener. It is helpful to treat your swatch in exactly the same way before measuring it again. This lets you confirm whether your selected needle size produces the measurements required by the pattern. Swatching is particularly valuable for socks, where even a small difference in stitch count can affect the finished fit.

For socks, garments and winter accessories

The primary purpose of SUPER SOXX 6-FACH/6-PLY is knitting warm, long-lasting socks. Its 6-ply thickness suits winter pairs that you would like to complete more quickly than an equivalent project in traditional 4-ply sock yarn. Depending on the pattern and the quantity planned, it can also be considered for jumpers, cardigans and accessories such as hats, cowls, scarves or mitts. Always compare the pattern gauge with the figures supplied for this yarn before choosing a design.

If your project includes ribbing, cables or another textured stitch, work several repeats of that motif in the swatch rather than checking stocking stitch alone. You will then see how the pattern appears at your own tension and can choose an appropriate needle size within the recommended range. The stated 10 cm gauge is 22 stitches and 33 rows. Check both dimensions, as row gauge is just as useful as stitch gauge in patterns with shaping, increases, decreases or precisely measured sections.
