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.
designed for a job, and excellent at it
Super soxx merino 4ply: elements 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.
