Ramsdale
A beautiful new sheep breed yarn from Wendy Classics. Ramsdale is born, bred and made in Yorkshire, England. It is 100% wool using a
blend of Masham fleece from the Yorkshire dales. Masham sheep's wool is so soft and warm, it rivals many merinos. With exceptionally long staple length of up to 10 inches, it has a subtle luster. The wool is then dyed, spun
and balled all in Yorkshire!! It has a wonderful hand, knits
beautifully and comes in 10 gorgeous heathery colors. Use with any pattern calling for a DK weight wool, 5 1/2 stitches per inch.

Gamma by Lang
Gamma is a classic cotton yarn very familiar to fans of Lang yarns. Gamma is a thin knitted tube of very, very fine cotton threads, so it's not as heavy per yard as a solid cotton. It has a clean crisp look that is excellent for fancy stitch work, cables, and open lacy patterns. 100% Cotton. A 50 gram ball contains about 180 yards, which is a marvelous light weight cotton suitable for medium sized needles. This cotton yarn is great for year round wear. The beautiful clear colors that Lang is known for are especially lovely in Gamma.

Sol
by Lang
Sol is a gorgeously soft tape yarn. Made of the finest combed cotton, giving you the quick knit of a worsted weight yarn without all the weight of traditional cotton. Light weight, cool, and breezy like cotton should be, Sol is perfect for warmer weather or days inside air conditioned offices.
This yarn is great for both plain knits and textural stitchery, such as horseshoe cables. Easier to knit than plain cotton, since the tape structure is more elastic.
- 100% combed Cotton, tape style yarn
- 19 stitches & 27 rows = 4 inches
- US 8-9 needles (5-5.5 mm)
- 50 gram ball is about 109 yards (100m)
- Hand wash, dry flat, do not use fabric softener
Sol is interchangeable with Sol Luxe and Sol Degrade for patterns, so there are many patterns for this yarn in the Fatto a Mano books. For a look with a tiny shimmer, see Sol Luxe.

Regia 8-ply Marl Sock Yarn
This is the best of the best for boot socks! This is a classic sock yarn composition, 75% wool, 25% nylon that is machine washable and dryable, stable and hard-wearing. There are three beautiful marled colorways, all of them suitable for women or men, that give a classic look to your boot socks. But oh! The difference for your feet when hiking or working in boots is amazing!
Of course you can use this for other garments too, just like other sock yarn, but much faster to knit. The statistics below are what is printed on the ball band, but that is really based on standard 8-ply yarn. For tips for boot socks, see the features tab below.
75% superwash wool, 25% nylon
150g = about 328 yards (300m)
Machine wash medium or low, machine dry low--will not felt
Gauge for medium weight fabric is 20 st and 28 rows on US 6-8 needles (See the features tab for sock knitting.)
One ball will make a standard pair of ladies socks (up to size 9 shoe, with a 7" cuff above the ankle). Larger sizes including men's or longer cuff will require more than 1 ball.
Boot Socks:
For hard wearing boot socks, we would recommend using a US 3-5 needle, as small as you can manage it, for at least the toes and heels. It's ok to use several different needle sizes in a sock to make the fabric feel just the way you want! You may also want to string along extra fuzzy nylon in the toes and heels.
Don't be afraid to customize socks--the wearer will LOVE you for it.

Artemis
Sleek and sophisticated, with the sheen only silk can give a yarn. Artemis truly is fit for a goddess! Easy to knit because of the cabled construction.

Use a US 6-7 needle (4-4.5mm). 55% silk, 45% cotton, it comes in 50g skeins that measure 168 yards (145m), and it's machine washable warm gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry.
There are dozens of patterns for Artemis in the Lang Fatto a Mano Spring and Summer books.
