Made up of Bluefaced Leister and Mohair, Killen Sock Yarn is available in a gorgeous array of naturally dyed colors. Killen Sock Yarn is spun in Yorkshire with a high twist and is intended as a sock yarn but it is well suited to shawls and light weight garments! It has a lot of drape and holds lace well. It blooms, with a slight halo, on washing and blocking. If you are knitting socks, a tight gauge is recommended for increased strength.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this yarn is the perfect inspiration for your next project.

Pattern Suggestions: If you're looking for inspiration, here are are some beautiful designs calling for Killen Sock Yarn:
Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
This is the most lightweight fingering yarn I have ever used, then it magically works up a little fluffy with a soft halo. I paired the Loch Ness with Raveler Very Busy Monkey's Hyacinthoides Socks for a dynamic result. These have to be one of my favorite pairs of socks yet. The yarn lends itself to the line art of the pattern perfectly for great stitch definition.
Inasmuch as this yarn is probably my new favorite, the dye stained my fingers while knitting, which has never happened to me before with dyed wool yarn. I hope that now with blocking it will remain colorfast and not stain the skin with wear.
Hi I'm so happy to find this exceptional blend of rare wool fibers!!!
This is the sort of yarn that only the most experienced spinners spin for themselves and family.
The person who designed this yarn knows from the elders just how to spin the very best this planet can offer.
Softness, warmth and durability.
No need for synthetics to make this yarn last decades.
This is true eco conscious heirloom yarns that will be treasured in tomorrows museum's.
The spin is just right too.
Absolutely love this yarn.💕
