from £18.00

💚 Lush Lanark — Inspired by Robert Owen’s Vision 💚

Inspired by a place where work uplifted life. A greener world, one stitch at a time.

Lush Lanark is a hand-dyed 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon 4-ply sock yarn that combines sumptuous softness, everyday durability, and beautiful tonal depth — ideal for socks, shawls, gloves, and fine-gauge garments. This classic merino/nylon blend gives you the perfect balance of luxurious comfort and long-lasting wear, making it a go-to choice for textured knitting and accessories that see regular use.

Hand dyed in Scotland by Thistle Yarns, Lush Lanark’s unique colourway reflects the serene beauty of Lanarkshire landscapes — from rolling hills to shifting cloud light — bringing both inspiration and tactile delight to every skein.

Colour & Inspiration

Lush Lanark weaves together soft, nuanced hues reminiscent of lush Scottish glens after rain — subtle greens, earthy neutrals, and gentle highlights that play beautifully across every stitch. Because this yarn is hand dyed in small batches, each skein has its own character, giving your finished fabric a naturally rich and artistic look.

Yarn Features & Benefits

  • Fibre: 75% superwash merino wool & 25% nylon — softness plus durability

  • Weight: 4-ply / fingering / sock weight

  • Hand-dyed colourway with gentle tonal variation

  • Smooth texture and excellent stitch definition — perfect for detailed patterns and wearable accessories

This classic sock-weight blend is cherished by knitters for its ability to combine next-to-skin comfort with the structural support that nylon provides — especially around high-wear areas like heels, cuffs and edges.

Ideal Projects

Lush Lanark is perfectly suited to:

  • Everyday socks that stay soft and resilient

  • Elegant shawls and wraps with defined stitch work

  • Fine-gauge gloves, mittens, and wrist warmers

  • Lightweight baby garments and accessories

For multi-skein projects, alternating skeins every few rows helps balance slight colour variations and deliver a beautifully cohesive fabric.

Care Instructions

To keep your handmade pieces looking their best:

  • Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild wool wash

  • Superwash fibres allow for gentle machine cycles (cold wool wash) if needed

  • Lay flat to dry — avoid wringing or twisting

  • Store folded to preserve shape and colour intensity

Superwash merino combined with nylon helps your socks resist wear and maintain softness even after repeated washes.
