Description

Prudence is A Gentle Whisper’s affordable luxury yarn line because everyone deserves a little luxury in life.

Prudence Sock is a soft and sturdy 4-ply sock yarn, full of warmth and character. It’s an easy-care blend of 75% British Superwash Bluefaced Leicester and South American Superwash Corriedale wool with 25% recycled nylon. With a count of 4/16nm, the yarn’s four strands combined with a small amount of recycled nylon create excellent strength and durability. The yarn is the perfect blend for creating easy-care, snuggly socks and accessories that feel soft against the skin and stand the test of time.

The Bluefaced Leicester sheep breed is well known for producing some of the finest British wools. It is wonderfully soft with a characteristic lustre and silkiness. Combined with South American Corriedale, a snuggly wool with a long, strong staple, full of crimp and shine, Superwash Bluefaced/Corriedale Sock really is the winning combination.
