Elements is the merino version of Lang's Super Soxx range, upgrading the standard wool base to 75% superwash merino for noticeably increased softness next to skin. Self-striping in elemental-inspired colourways, it carries the same generous 420m yardage and machine washable practicality as the rest of the Super Soxx line, but with the extra comfort you'd expect from merino. A good choice when you want the reliability of a workhorse sock yarn without sacrificing softness.

temperament: Designed for a job, and excellent at it.

great at: 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.

caution: 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.
