Studio
Another innovation by Lang. A slightly variegated, premium hand knitting yarn, especially designed for felting. The nylon helps to stabilize the felted fiber, and the spandex adds just enough stretch to help with wet shaping. Don't felt? Not to worry: this yarn has a gorgeous boucle construction that's very pretty when knitted--just choose a smaller needle and check your gauge.
- 87% Extra Fine Merino, 12% Nylon, 1% Spandex.
- 50g ball is about 200m (219 yds).
- For felting patterns, use a US 7-8 needle.

Frontier
Designer yarn by Trendsetter
Explore a new frontier in your knitting and crochet with this multi-colored, multi-textured yarn that has no discernible repeat. Uneven striping results from plain knitting, but this yarn really shines when used in multi-directional knitting, including mitered squares, entrelac, and diagonal pieces. Some elongated or drop stitch patterns, and some brioche stitches would also show a different look for your knitting. Use Frontier alone, or mix with Merino 8 for so many combinations. Your imagination is the only limit!
Frontier is a soft and snuggly wool blend of 52% wool and 49% acrylic, and every ball contains portions that are solids, marls, thin and thick. Knits up quickly to an Aran gauge of 4 st to the inch on US 10 needles. Hand wash cold, dry cleaning is recommended. A 50 gram ball is about 115 yards.
- 52% Wool, 48% Acrylic
- Use size 10 needle, 6 mm
- 50 g skeins
- About 115 yards per skein
- 4 stitches = 1"
- Dry Clean or hand wash cold.

Greina
by Lang
Here's another great three-season yarn from Lang. Introduced in the spring, Greina is a marvelous mix of fibers: wool, viscose, linen and acrylic. It's an evenly spun worsted weight, but the linen gives it a slightly slubby look, and the viscose (rayon) a little shine. This makes it very attractive for men's garments, because it has that slightly uneven, rugged look that men like. It's easy to knit and soft to the touch, but has more body than the standard superwash merino. That means it takes well to stitch patterning and cables, as it holds its shape well.
There are patterns for Greina in the more recent Fatto a Mano books (2012-2013) but you can use it for any pattern calling for 5 st to the inch.
- 40% acrylic, 30% Merino wool, 18% Viscose, 12% Linen
- 20 stitches & 28 rows = 4 inches on US 7 needles (4.5 mm)
- 50 gram ball is about 162 yards (105m)
- Machine wash warm, gentle, use detergent for fine wash, dry flat

What a gorgeous yarn, and so disappointing that it is now discontinued but of course that means a great bargain for you!

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.

Dune
trendsetter's classic multi-fiber, multi-texture yarn.

Because of the mohair halo, Dune knits to 4 stitches per inch on US 9 needles to produce a solid stockinette fabric.
- 41% Mohair, 30% Acrylic, 29% Nylon
- Use size 9 needle, 5.5 mm
- 50 g skeins About 80 yards per skein
- 4 stitches = 1" Hand wash.

Cashsoft by Lang
A wonderful, quality yarn spun from extra-fine merino and recycled cashmere. For the recycling, knitted garments are sorted according to colour and agitated until the fibres disintegrate, so they can then be spun up again. A delicate mélange results from this process. Due to this manufacturing process and the extrafine merino content, Cashsoft represents a more affordable option than pure cashmere, but feels practically the same nevertheless.
- 50% Recycled Cashmere, 50% fine Merino wool
- 50g skeins are about 109 yards
- 19 st and 26 rows to 4" on US 8-9 needles (5-5.5 mm)
- Hand wash, dry flat or dry clean
