Lorna's Laces Solemate

Solemate is a sock weight yarn made from 55% superwash Merino, 15% nylon and 30% Outlast, a rayon fiber technology that continuously interacts with a body's microclimate to moderate temperature from being too hot or too cold. Solemate is very soft to work with, and has some spring to it. Fabric knit from Solemate is smooth and comfy.

    I accidently reviewed another Lorna's Lace yarn,Sportmate. I am using this yarn, Soulmate, it's fabulous. I'm making a shawl. I tend to knit tightly, from making socks, so I had to go up a size on my needles. But that's ok. Not the yarns fault.
    The colorway of Rockwell is different from the pic here. Actually, it's prettier in person.LOL, I love this yarn. Better that the Tosh type by far. Right up there with Sweet Georgia.

    I'm hoping it lives up to their claim of warm in cool weather; cool in warm weather. We'll see.

    WEBS is prompt in sending you your yarn and if it's on back order they keep you informed of when it's shipped.

    This may be my go to yarn site from now on.

    Soft beautiful cowl

    By WindingRoad

    from Old Orchard Beach, Maine

    Comments about Lorna's Laces Solemate:

    I made the most beautiful cowl with "L" a dark magenta colorway. It's so soft and squishy. Lovely is another good word to describe it. And it does keep you warm even though it's not heavy at all. Light as a feather. I get so many compliments. Drape is perfect too. Use it for socks, shawls, hats,cowls, scarves. None better in my opinion.

    Excellent customer service, Prompt delivery and packed nicely.

    It's a Definite Repeat

    By Knitsyboo

    from Winnipeg Canada

    Verified Buyer

    Pros

    • Good stitch definition
    • Non-binding
    • Non-pilling
    • Non-splitty

    Cons

    • Can~~~apos~~~t Think Of Any

    Best Uses

    • Cables
    • Inticate Patterns
    • Socks
    • Twisted Stitches

    Comments about Lorna's Laces Solemate:

    This yarn is fabulous to work with; it does not split, and the needles glide through even the most tight, twisty manouvers. As well, it does pill or fuzz up. I recommend this yarn to all sock knitters and I'll be definitely buying it again.
    I do wish this yarn was available in solid colors, my only mild complaint.

        I use it for Sweaters and socks. In my area, you can shiver in the morning and roast in the afternoon - this yarn bridges the gap. Great colors and stitch definition, very soft on the hands.

        A Reasonably Good Sock Yarn

        By Evie

        from Hoffman Estates, IL

        See all my reviews

        Verified Buyer

        Pros

        • Does not split
        • Fairly soft
        • Holds its shape
        • Nice colors

        Cons

        • Very Short Color Changes

        Best Uses

          Comments about Lorna's Laces Solemate:

          I tried to use this for a scarf and abandoned it. It would be good for socks but not soft enough for a scarf and I don't like such short colors changes.

          Short Color Repeats

          Verified Buyer

          Pros

          • Does not split

          • Soft

          Cons

          • Color Repeats Too Short

          Best Uses

            Comments about Lorna's Laces Solemate:

            I wanted to knit a scarf with this, but due to the short color repeats it did not lend itself to this use. You need to use lace needles with this yarn, and it would probably make lovely socks.

              I bought this yarn to make a shawl. The color, Campbell was bright. The lace stitches showed up beautiful. The yarn is bouncy, has great memory, doesn't split, and knits up great. I found no negatives working with this yarn.

                Comments about Lorna's Laces Solemate:

                I am making a summer tee with this yarn on size 7 needles, and it blocks out so beautifully. It is silky, with beautiful drape without losing its shape. I've bought several colorways to make things for myself and as gifts! Currently working on the "Campbell and 2nd" tee designed in this yarn and planning to start "Chambourcin" also designed in this yarn shortly.
