Lorna's Laces Solemate is more than a sock yarn - although it will make great socks. Solemate contains 'Outlast' which has been developed by NASA for use in space suits, it has amazing temperature regulatory properties but also adds a subtle sheen and weight which gives an amazing drape. The stitch definition is fabulous, the blocking properties are amazing, making this an excellent choice for patterned socks, lace work and shawls, summer tops and much much more. Brought to you all the way from California where it has been carefully and lovingly hand dyed.
