The Farmer by Gathering Yarn - Sock yarn with alpaca

Much more than just a sock yarn, The Farmer is a versatile yarn that will enhance all your projects!

Its carefully balanced blend of Highland wool, alpaca, and nylon creates a 6-ply yarn that is both strong, soft, and elegant. It offers excellent stitch definition, beautiful drape, and ideal durability for everyday projects.

While maintaining the warm and natural character of wool, The Farmer remains pleasantly soft and machine washable — perfect for creations to wear and gift.

Responsibly made, this yarn is produced through an environmentally friendly process and comes from certified farms for animal welfare.

Ideal for knitting thick socks, comfortable clothing, durable accessories, or handmade gifts that will stand the test of time.
