Twist Sock Cantaloupe

Twist Sock – Textured Sock

80% Superwash Merino & 20% Nylon – Meterage: 365m (400yds) – Weight: 100g

Needles:  2.5 - 4mm

A fingering weight yarn with a high twist.   A soft, 2 ply yarn with lovely texture so it takes dye really well.  

LITLG recipes are very precise and they take their time to replicate each colorway exactly – even still there might be slight color differences between different batches, this is the nature of the process.

Colorways will vary depending on the fiber content of the yarn. A superwash merino for example will take color differently to a non-super washed merino. Ply and yarn weight also affect how colors absorb into the fiber so a colorway in 4ply fingering may be slightly different when applied to the same yarn base in DK.

They put a lot of effort into photographing and displaying their yarns, however, it is difficult to produce 100% accuracy of color due to the large discrepancy between different monitors and how they display it. Photos should be used as a guide only.

Speckles and spots of color may be present in some colorways; they are generally meant to be there as the yarn is hand-dyed using their hands to create some colorways – sometimes you may find a spot on a skein this is common with hand-dying and adds to its unique charm.

Some of the Semi-Solid colorways are dyed from the white of the skein to the depth of color they want to create therefore there will be areas of color that look faded/lighter/show the white of the skein. This is part of the hand-dyeing process – they are not trying to create a solid color like you would get in vat dyed and they sometimes layer semi-solids to achieve different depths.
