Cool, Breathable Comfort for Year-Round Making

Step away from heavy wool and embrace the light, airy feel of Laines du Nord Summer Socks. Expertly crafted in Italy, this yarn is the perfect solution for those who want to knit or crochet socks, accessories, and lightweight garments that can be worn comfortably in spring and summer.

The high cotton content ensures breathability and moisture-wicking properties, while a touch of nylon provides the necessary stretch and "memory" for a perfect fit that doesn't sag. Featuring stunning, multi-colored self-striping patterns, this yarn does all the colorwork for you, resulting in vibrant, professional-looking projects with every skein.
