Lang Jawoll Twin Sock Yarn... with a twist

Cindy's socks - on loan, in the shop

Another new 4ply gradient yarn this one is great for socks (75% wool, 25% nylon).

To mix it up abit... the ball was split into two and 5 rounds were knitted from each... forcing the yarn to stripe in a different way!

We've shown this technique before here and here.  But with self striping yarns, sometimes the stripes merge, as colours meet their match.  With Lang Jawoll Twin gradient, this will not happen!

definition colours
