Lang Jawoll Superwash

Lang Jawoll Superwash

Each skein of this beautiful yarn contains a spool of matching reinforcement yarn to carry along when knitting the toe & heel, the parts that get the most wear & tear.  Jawoll is very soft and fine – it also knits and crochets beautifully into sweaters, gloves, hats, shawls, really any fingering-weight project. You need just 2 skeins for a large pair of men’s mid-length socks.
