STRONG SOCK

The stalwart of the Stimpylab line - 2 plies of tightly wound, velvety, squishy superwash merino with the added touch of nylon.  This yarn is as durable and hardworking as it is soft and delicate.  Perfect for socks of course, but also great for baby items, shawls, or just about anything calling for Sock Weight yarn.  Une classique!
