Lang's mending and reinforcing yarn comes on compact 5g spools: the right format for a yarn you use in small quantities for specific repairs and reinforcement. The 75% wool and 25% polyamide blend is designed to complement sock yarn constructions, making it particularly useful for reinforcing heels and toes before they wear through, or for darning repairs that need to hold up to continued use. Keep a few spools in your project bag alongside your sock knitting and your handmade socks will last significantly longer.
designed for a job, and excellent at it
Mending / reinforcing yarn is a yarn that we would categorize as a specialist. Some yarns are generalists. Specialist yarns are not. These are designed to excel at a particular task: durable sock yarns, sturdy weaving yarns, hardworking cottons for dishcloths and utility knits. When used for their intended purpose, they perform beautifully.
Designed for socks, this yarn holds up to wear while maintaining stitch definition and elasticity. It’s spun with extra twist and reinforced with nylon, giving it extra strength and resilience for high-wear projects.
Specialists are happiest doing the job they were designed for. Using them outside that role can lead to unexpected results: less elasticity, different wear, or a fabric that behaves differently than you expect. Swatching is especially helpful if you’re planning to experiment.
