Although it's a typical sock yarn blend, Lazy Lion is simply too good to be used for socks that end up hidden inside shoes! Even though it's incredibly durable! Why is this beautiful, hand-dyed yarn called Lazy Lion? Because it's made from extra-soft merino wool (21.5 microns) from mulesing-free farms in South Africa. As befits a sock yarn, it's superwash treated and therefore machine washable. It's ideal not only for knitting socks, but also for accessories or, for example, combined with solid-colored yarns for entire garments. Unfortunately, the photos can't convey just how much softer this sock yarn is compared to other yarns on the market. Try it for yourself!
The photos below of the socks beautifully illustrate the color gradient of the "self-striping" colorways. Because of the long and irregular color gradient, it's impossible to knit two identical socks; this should be taken into account. A strand of Silky Kid in navy was also used for the shawl shown below.
New to the range are 16 "chaotic spreckled" color variations. Each of the colorfully speckled, hand-dyed skeins is a true one-of-a-kind thanks to the irregular little splashes of color.

Our KREMKE brand now has a new logo. However, for sustainability reasons, we will continue to use our existing stock of old labels. Therefore, some color variations of this yarn already have the new label, while others still have the old one.
