Exotic Fruits is part of Lang's Super Soxx range: a line built on a proven 75% wool and 25% polyamide base that balances comfort and durability in equal measure. The self-patterning colourways are named after and inspired by comets, with the kind of colour energy you'd expect from the theme. Generous 420m yardage covers a full pair of socks from one skein. Machine washable and consistently reliable: a good workhorse sock yarn with more personality than most.
designed for a job, and excellent at it
Super soxx: exotic fruits 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.
