New Yarns to Us and the Erl ~ #2 Lang Yarns -Aktion

This yarn is very similiar in feeling to Opal Yarn once it has been washed in hot water.  Before, it appears very stiff.  We had a little surprise with this ball yarn, that we have never had before.  When MrB unravelled the ball to wind it, out popped a little spool of reinforcement yarn the same colour as the yarn itself.  We thought, oh cool! MrB did use the reinforcement yarn in the heel of his socks.  It will be very interesting to see how the heels wear, as MrB is hard on his socks!  I have taken a picture of the completed sock pair, the little reinforcement spool (what is left) and also what was left of the yarn.  This yarn is a superwash yarn, 75 % wool and 25% nylon.  It was made for Lang and Co in Switzerland.  And if you really like the colour it is, COL 132.0413  PTIE 2115.  The website is
