Formerly known as simply “Hand Dyed Sock Yarn”

Description from the website: Some old school sock knitters swear that you can’t get good wear in the heels if you don’t have a nylon blend. Well, they never tried Chugiak. This 2-ply superwash yarn has such a tight twist that all of our testers say it wears like it had nylon. Chugiak is a tight enough twist that you can substitute it for lace weight in some projects. Did we tell you about the color? Pagewood Farm colorways absolutely “POP” in our Chugiak. Something about the absorption rate of the 100% merino makes the colors deeper, richer and more vibrant. 450-yard skeins enough for a full pair of socks. Washable (hand wash or machine wash gentle cycle.)

Even though it says “sock yarn” it’s really great for lacework.
