A plastic-free sock yarn? Try it.

Just like the sheep on the Peruvian highlands endure some weather, socks made of this yarn keep you nice and warm. The durability is certainly not comparable to a nylon-containing sock yarn, but the same applies here as for all plastic-free sock yarns: try it out until you find the yarn that suits you. Holes usually always appear in the same place and once darned, the sock will keep your feet warm for a long time.

This yarn is not only suitable for socks, but also for outerwear. It has all of its wonderful natural qualities and while being a little more robust, it’s not terribly scratchy.
