Twin Soxx 4-Fach/4-PLY

TWIN SOXX 4-FACH/4-PLY: matching colour repeats for two socks

Hours of careful knitting deserve a yarn with a colour sequence that has been planned from the start. TWIN SOXX 4-FACH/4-PLY by Lang Yarns contains two identical colour repeats in a single ball, helping you create a coordinated pair of socks without having to search for the second starting point yourself. Begin the first sock with the strand from the centre of the ball.

After approximately 200 metres, you will reach an unprinted section of yarn. Cut away this section and the matching colour repeat for the second sock begins immediately afterwards. This visible division makes it easy to identify the two sequences. With 17 colourways available, you can choose the palette that best suits your project while enjoying a colour pattern that develops as you knit.

A fine yarn for defined stitches

The blend combines 75% virgin wool with 25% nylon. Virgin wool provides the natural character of wool, while nylon complements a yarn designed for regularly worn socks. At 420 metres per 100 grams, TWIN SOXX 4-FACH/4-PLY is a fine yarn suited to detailed knitting and a neat, lightweight fabric.

Make a tension swatch before casting on. It will help you check your own knitting tension, the stitch definition and the way the colour changes appear in your chosen pattern. If you plan to use the yarn for a jumper, scarf or another item worn near the skin, place the finished swatch against your neck as well. This simple test lets you assess the feel personally before committing many hours to the project. Your time is often worth far more than the difference in cost between two yarns.

For socks and fine all-season knitting

This yarn is primarily designed for a matching pair of colour-changing socks. Its generous length can also be considered for fine accessories and lightweight garments, provided that you calculate the required yarn and plan the repeated colour sequence for your pattern. Ribbing, textured stitches and small decorative details can all be evaluated properly on your swatch before the full project begins.

TWIN SOXX 4-FACH/4-PLY is listed as an all-season yarn. The recommended needle range is 2.5 to 3.5 mm. Your ideal needle size will depend on your personal tension and the fabric required by the pattern, so the stated gauge is the most useful starting point rather than a substitute for swatching.

Caring for your finished knitting

The Superwash treatment is intended to make care more convenient, but the supplied instructions should still be followed carefully. Use a detergent made for fine wash and do not add fabric softener. Thoughtful washing helps protect the many hours invested in your socks, jumper or accessory.

Choose your preferred TWIN SOXX 4-FACH/4-PLY colourway and cast on a pair whose two colour sequences have already been carefully coordinated.
