This luxurious yarn is a huge ball -- one ball will easily make a beautiful shawl -- and it has a soft gradient color way that gradually and harmoniously cycles through the entire color story in a gentle, subtle way.  The cashmere content makes it dreamy soft with a light haze that softens the edges and gives a look of quiet luxury.  The merino wool is soft but sturdy, helping to prevent pilling and make your beautiful items last.

Trill is a superwash merino and linen blend with a rustic tweedy look and natural drape. Linen lends breathability and structure for a transitional season yarn that softens beautifully with wear. Dyed in a bird-inspired palette, it sings across lightweight garments and accessories.  With a slight texture and subtle variations in color between the wool and merino fibers, this yarn is incredible for popular fingering weight patterns and for holding with a mohair or alpaca carry-along to meet a DK gauge.

Care Instructions

Machine wash cold with cold water & dry flat

A little extra care will ensure you prolong the life of your projects. Most of our yarns are machine-washable on a cool, delicate cycle, however hand-washing in cold water with a small amount of wool wash is highly recommended. Lay flat to dry, never use a dryer. Washing your gauge swatch is advised, especially if using contrasted, dark, or saturated colors.

We see a lot of sock yarns, but this one is a little bit different and we had to have it! Designed to knit up with a solid-to-gradient color foot and a cool, retro inspired random stripe pattern on the leg, one ball makes a generous pair of socks.  Made of soft and sturdy wool with enough nylon to make it last with regular wear, this machine washable yarn is a fabulous sock yarn and you haven’t seen one like it! You can use it to work up a really cool, random strip shawl with a defined base color as well, as one ball will make a small shawl and 2 balls will make a big one!

This sock yarn is just so cool.  We loved the random, fun striping pattern and the smooth feel. The high nylon content makes it wear well for everyday socks and for those who seem to be harder on their socks.  The colors are retro and cheerful, perfect for the on-trend look of wild socks with more restrained outfits.  Laines Du Nord Electic Sock yarn is a breath of fresh air for those who love the sturdiness of a traditional sock yarn but are a little tired of the traditional look that they've been knitting with forever.  Brighten up your sock wardrobe!
