🧵 The yarn
Lana MOVE 6-FACH by Lang Yarns is a durable 6-ply sock yarn designed for those seeking longevity, practicality, and vibrant colors in a single ball. The 75% extrafine Superwash Merino mulesing-free + 25% polyamide composition ensures softness against the skin, wear resistance, and easy maintenance. Ideal for everyday socks, hats, gloves, and accessories meant to last without losing shape or color.
Each 100-gram ball offers approximately 270 meters of yarn, enough to make 2 pairs of adult socks, size 38-40. The 6-ply structure provides an ideal thickness for 3-4mm knitting needles or 3-4mm crochet hooks, offering excellent stitch definition and hold for the finished garment.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The 75% extrafine Superwash Merino wool is the primary fiber in this yarn. Extrafine Merino offers superior softness compared to standard wool, is itch-free against the skin, and is naturally thermoregulating: it keeps feet warm in winter and cool in summer. The Superwash treatment eliminates the risk of felting in the washing machine, making the yarn suitable for garments that require frequent washing. The mulesing-free certification ensures that the wool comes from farms that respect animal welfare.
The 25% polyamide acts where wool alone would not suffice: it reinforces high-wear areas (heel, toe), increases abrasion resistance, and improves the elasticity of the finished garment. This combination is the gold standard for premium professional sock yarns, as it blends natural comfort with technical durability in one product.
📦 Ball format and yield
Each ball weighs 100 grams and contains approximately 270 meters of yarn. One ball is enough for about 2 pairs of adult socks, size 38-40, or 1 pair of socks, size 42-44, with heel reinforcement. For hats and gloves, one ball is sufficient for an adult beanie or a pair of fingerless gloves.
For larger projects like scarves or shawls, calculate approximately 2-3 balls for a 150cm long scarf. We always recommend purchasing all necessary balls at once, as color lots may vary slightly between productions, especially with variegated tones.
🧶 Recommended crafting
Recommended needles are 3.0 – 4.0 mm. This size is ideal for creating a compact yet elastic fabric, perfect for socks that need to fit snugly without feeling too tight. Using 3mm needles produces a denser, more durable fabric, ideal for winter socks or heavy-duty use. With 4mm needles, the fabric is softer and more breathable, suitable for spring socks or lounging at home. The gauge is 21 stitches x 28 rows per 10x10cm using 4mm needles.
Using a 3.0 – 4.0 mm crochet hook, the yarn is well-suited for hats, cowls, gloves, and bags. The 6-ply structure ensures excellent stitch definition, even in complex patterns like jacquard, fair isle, or cables. It is suitable for beginners (thanks to its smoothness and ease of stitch handling) and experts looking for a technical yarn for elaborate projects.
✨ Why choose Lana MOVE 6-FACH
Compared to standard 4-ply sock yarns, MOVE 6-FACH offers greater thickness, which reduces working time and creates warmer, more cushioned socks. Compared to 100% wool yarns, the 25% polyamide prolongs the life of the garment even with intensive use: your socks will last for seasons without wearing through at the heel. Unlike non-Superwash yarns, MOVE is machine-washable without felting, saving you time and effort in daily maintenance.
The true advantage of MOVE 6-FACH is the combination of dynamic variegated colors and practicality: you get original, striking socks without having to change yarn while knitting, and you can wash them in the machine with the rest of your laundry without worry. Perfect for those who knit for themselves or for sale, as it combines professional aesthetics with certified durability.
🎨 What you can make
MOVE 6-FACH was born for durable and colorful socks, but its versatility makes it suitable for hats, gloves, cowls, scarves, wrist warmers, house socks, yoga socks, baby bonnets, fingerless gloves, crossbody bags, pouches, and small fashion accessories. The variegated effect creates unique patterns without having to follow complex jacquard charts.
👩🎨 Who it's for
MOVE 6-FACH is suitable for beginners looking for a smooth, easy-to-work-with yarn, as well as experts who want a technical product for professional-grade socks. The 6-ply structure is forgiving of minor tension errors and maintains even stitches, even with irregular techniques. The Superwash treatment makes it ideal for those who sell their knitwear, as it guarantees a washable and durable garment for the end customer.
It is typically purchased by hobbyists knitting for their family, artisans selling handmade accessories on Etsy or at markets, people looking for an original and practical handmade gift, and those who love vibrant colors without the hassle of managing multiple balls at once. Also perfect for charity projects or knitting workshops due to its price-performance ratio and ease of maintenance.

📌 Important note
The stated yardage (270m) may vary by ±5% between production lots. Variegated colors may show shade differences between one lot and another: for projects requiring multiple skeins, we recommend purchasing the entire quantity needed in one go. Do not use fabric softener in the washing machine, as it reduces the yarn's elasticity and can damage the synthetic fibers. For heavy-duty socks, reinforce the heel and toe with an additional strand of polyamide.
