Knit your own all natural socks! Sock yarn in all-natural fibres is so hard to find. This 3-ply yarn in a 100gm skein is made from 80% virgin wool and 20% ramie. Ramie is tropical plant fibre that, in addition to a little sheen, gives this yarn the strength and stability needed for the heel and toes in sock making. This beautiful yarn can not only be used as sock yarn but also for many other knitting and crochet projects. The texture is similar to a wool and linen blend yarn and the fibre blends lends the colours a beautiful melange depth.
