Twist Sock is a hand dyed sock yarn in Ireland by Life in the Long Grass.

A company with an eco-responsible approach which is expressed both in the choice of wool (without museling, ethical production), and in the management:

- local use, recycled packaging, non-toxic dyes, and recycling of waste water.

Life in the Long Grass is set in a century-old house in the middle of the countryside. Their palette is largely inspired by the surrounding nature.

Twist Sock is an ideal sock yarn:

- Its yarn is well twisted which will ensure you a durable sock.

- Its skein of 365 meters per 100 grams will be enough for a pair of stockings.

- Its composition of wool and nylon will make your socks as soft as they are resistant.
