Lazy Lion Sock Yarn is so much more than its name implies. Although the fibre blend is that of a standard sock yarn it might just be too pretty to hide inside ones footwear!
Lazy Lion is made from super soft South African Merino wool from mulesing-free farms. The softness of this yarn makes each stitch a delight to knit while the superwash treatment makes it easy to care for too.

Lazy Lion Sock Yarn by Kremke Soul Wool
Mindful yarns curated by Britta
Kremke Soul Wool is a collection of innovative natural fiber yarns with an increasing focus on vegan and recycled yarns.
"I like to look at my yarn brand as my playground. Whenever I feel there is a demand for a certain yarn composition or when I am inspired by trends in the fashion or yarn industry, I try to incorporate that in a new yarn“, says Britta, founder of Kremke Soul Wool.
Britta grew up in her mothers yarn store, the first "yarn only" shop in Hamburg in the 1960's. Since being a teenager she has been knitting almost every day. Eventually, Britta tired of the many, "Fancy Yarns“ on the market. But, at the same time, she was uninspired by the standard ranges of merino super wash and sock yarns which most brands offered.
What she imagined were yarns "with a soul“, yarns that were special, yarns that had a story to tell. So, almost almost ten years ago, Britta began collaborating with producers to spin distinct fibres into interesting, yet classic yarns at competitive prices for her young brand Kremke Soul Wool.
