A perfect blend of warmth and strength to make a hardwearing sock yarn that can stand up to your affection and abuse. Tough Love Sock is our best-selling yarn and knits up beautifully into fine-gauge sweaters, small shawls, as well as socks! This 3-ply yarn is so versatile, knit it firmly for hard wearing socks, knit it loosely for drapey shawls, or knit it doubled for a great worsted-weight substitute.
Suggested gauge for sock knitting: US 0-1 (2-2.25mm) | 8 sts / 1" (~32 sts / 10 cm)

Love the color and quality.
It is lovely wool and I am happily knitting up. Thank you.
I've used Tough Love sock for as long as I can remember. I don't just use it for socks, but for shawls, cowls, wraps etc too. I use my 2.5 mm flexi flips when working with this wool. The dyes are luscious. A joy for the hands to work with. Works well with cable too. My go-to wool. Online shopping with sweetgeorgia is always without a hitch. Questions are answered promptly too.
My delight is knitting fine wool sweaters that give warmth without overheating, with beautiful stitch definition that holds gauge and that bold deep colour. Sweet Georgia Tough Love Sock fits these criteria and so much more. It’s a joy to knit with and then enjoy as the finished product!
One of my all time favorite yarns, knits up like a dream and has incredible stitch definition.
