Lang's sock yarn that's made in Italy. It's a great yarn to mix with variegated colours for socks or shawls (The Botanic Shawl by Stephen West for example)
Jawoll - tried and tested a million times and for many years a sock wool classic - including reinforcement yarn for heels and toes to extend the life of your socks!
The wool is sourced from Corriedale sheep.
From Lang's website: "JAWOLL: we only use wool of the finest provenance from Chilean Patagonia. During shearing, the best parts of the fleece are selected and sorted out. The average thickness, the diameter of the fibre, is just 25 microns (1 micron = 1/1000 mm) so the wool feels very soft and is very comfortable to wear. The Corriedale sheep live all year round in the natural wilds of Patagonia. Because of the scant food supply, their wool remains white and grows to an average staple length of 10cm. This makes it take dye well, the colours are brilliant and the finished yarn is highly resistant to pilling."
With a touch of nylon & acrylic to enhance the durability of the superwash wool, the skeins contain a bonus - a spool of matching reinforcement yarn to carry along when knitting the toe & heel - the parts that get the most wear & tear!
Jawoll is so soft & fine it also knits & crochets beautifully for sweaters, gloves, hats, shawls, and really any fingering-weight project.
