Crafty Jak's Boutique: Tough & Tender Sock Yarn
This fingering weight yarn is a soft yet durable blend of 90% SW Targhee, 10% Nylon. Perfect for socks, shawls or sweaters. Targhee is a breed of sheep developed in Idaho by crossing Corriedale, Lincoln, and Rambouillet sheep. The resulting fibre is soft, springy and durable, which translates into a wonderfully squishy yarn. The 3 ply nature of the yarn makes textures pop in your knitting or crocheting.

Although superwash wool is machine washable, for best results I recommend a gentle hand wash in cool water - do not wring out - and lay flat to dry.
Although I do my best to ensure the photos represent the item accurately, the colour may vary slightly based on individual computer screen settings.
More About Crafty Jak's Boutique
Hello and thank you for stopping by our little slice of the world wide web! We are Judi and Katrina, aka JAK, a mother and daughter team who started Crafty JAK’s as a way to share some of the variety of things we love to create. This journey started off by designing and knitting photography props for the professional photography industry, some of which you can still find in our Etsy shop. When Katrina learned to spin in 2014, a whole different appreciation for fibre and yarn developed, which translated into a new direction for the company.
