A robust, delightfully sproingy sock yarn, gently dyed by hand. Targhee Sock, aka House Sock, is a super-squishy, strong and robust fingering weight yarn that’s absolutely perfect for socks. It’s 90% American Targhee wool and 10% nylon.

You’ll love knitting with Targhee Sock. It has a strong twist, and the wool itself is bouncy and sproingy. The fabric it makes is strong and durable, and the resulting socks are exceptionally warm and plush.
