Description
Treat your feet to the warmth and comfort of these beautifully handmade knitted wool socks, created on my vintage circular sock machine.
Autumn Leaves brings together warm autumnal shades of rust, mustard, olive green, rich brown and berry pink in a beautifully varied striped design. The colours and pattern change throughout the socks, creating a wonderfully distinctive pair inspired by the rich tones of autumn.
Each pair is lovingly knitted on my beautiful vintage Imperia circular sock machine, a cast-iron machine dating from around 1929. This traditional method of sock making gives each pair a special connection to vintage craftsmanship, while the finely knitted fabric provides plenty of stretch for a comfortable fit.
These socks are made from West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4-ply, a premium British-made sock wool. It contains 35% Bluefaced Leicester wool and 25% nylon, combining the natural warmth, softness and quality of British wool with the strength and durability needed for everyday socks. The wool is sourced and spun entirely in Britain, making these a particularly special choice for those who value British-made and British wool products.
The stretchy knitted fabric means these socks will comfortably fit two shoe sizes. If you prefer a snug fit, choose the higher of the two sizes. If you prefer your socks a little looser, or have wider feet, choose the lower size.
Care: Machine washable at 30°C on a wool cycle.
