Kremke - Lazy Lion Sockyarn

Lazy Lion Sockyarn from Kremke has the typical composition of a sock yarn, but is much too good to disappear in the boot. The yarn is made of extra soft mulesing-free merino wool (21.5 micron) from South Africa. As befits a sock yarn, it is superwash treated and extremely durable.

The striped strands provide self-stripping socks. However, this wide coloring makes it impossible to knit two identical socks.

The colorful chaotic speckled strands provide whimsy and exciting knitting. Together with a plain mohair thread Lazy Lion is also super suitable for beautiful cardigans or sweaters.

Responsibility

All yarns of the Kremke Soul Wool brand are mulesing-free. Britta Kremke, the founder of this diverse brand, is also always on the lookout for innovative production processes and yarns that are produced in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. As a result, five recycled yarns and two yarns with a high Tencel® content have already been created. Tencel® is described by the environmental protection organization PETA as one of the least environmentally damaging fibers because it is produced in a closed cycle. The issue of sustainability will play an even greater role in the brand in the future: Currently, Kremke Soul Wool is in the certification process for Oeko-Tex 100, Traceable Lots and Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS).
