Lang Yarns SUPER SOXX TWEED 6-FACH/PLY – Sock Yarn

Warm tweed character for autumn and winter knitting

SUPER SOXX TWEED 6-FACH/PLY by Lang Yarns brings depth and personality to every row. Its tweed effect creates a rustic-looking surface without the rustic feel that can sometimes accompany this style. The yarn is thicker than a classic 4-ply sock yarn, so projects grow more quickly on the needles. It is particularly well suited to warm, durable socks designed to become frequently worn favourites throughout the colder months.

South American Corriedale fibres with added durability

The blend contains 67% virgin wool, 25% nylon and 8% viscose. Lang Yarns combines South American Corriedale fibres with nylon to provide the additional durability required in hard-working knitted pieces. The virgin wool supports the warm character expected from an autumn and winter yarn, while nylon is a practical addition for socks exposed to repeated friction at the heel, toe and sole. Viscose completes this carefully balanced fibre composition.

The tweed effect keeps the knitting visually engaging without requiring an elaborate pattern. It can bring interest to straightforward stocking stitch while also accompanying ribbing and textured stitches. If you are considering a sweater, cowl or another item worn close to the neck, knit your swatch first and place it against the skin. This simple check helps you assess your personal sensitivity before committing time and yarn to a larger garment.

Not only for favourite socks

Warm, long-lasting socks are the natural starting point for SUPER SOXX TWEED 6-FACH/PLY, but its weight also makes it relevant for a range of cold-weather projects. Consider it for sweaters, hats, mittens, scarves and other knitted accessories when the pattern suits the stated gauge. The rustic visual character can enrich a simple design or complement textured stitches. Required quantities will always depend on the chosen pattern, size, stitch and individual tension.

The recommended needle size is 3 to 4 mm. The reference tension is 22 stitches and 33 rows over 10 cm. A personal tension square remains essential for fitted socks and garments. Measure it carefully and change needle size if needed before beginning the main project. This allows you to check the dimensions, fabric and stitch definition against the requirements of your chosen pattern rather than relying on the label alone.

Made for pieces that will be worn often

Each 150 g ball provides 410 metres of yarn. This generous format offers substantial yardage for many smaller projects, although no single ball quantity can be guaranteed for every size or pattern. For care, use a detergent intended for fine wash and do not add fabric softener. Following this specific instruction is a straightforward way to care for the fibre blend and the time invested in every knitted stitch.
