Lang Yarns Alpaca Soxx Tweed – 100g / 387m

Lang Yarns Alpaca Soxx Tweed is a four-ply sock yarn combining baby alpaca, virgin wool and nylon with understated tweed flecks. The blend is designed to bring softness and warmth to socks and other knitted accessories. An Easywash treatment makes the yarn machine washable on a wool programme at up to 40 °C, according to the supplier.

For garments, LANGYARNS suggests 4 mm needles for a softer drape; for socks, the label recommends 2.5–3.5 mm needles for a firmer knitted fabric.

The tweed character adds depth to simple stitch patterns, so the colour and texture can be the focus of the finished piece.

Hand-knitted socks, soft leg warmers and everyday accessories. For heels and toes, make a gauge swatch and follow the pattern’s recommended stitch density.
