Making socks on one of these beauties is truly an art, and after plenty of practice (and a very full sock drawer!), I\u2019m delighted to share them with you.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"762\">These socks are made from a high-quality blend of 75% Superwash wool and 25% nylon making them both durable and wonderfully comfortable. Once you experience the warmth and fit of knitted socks, you\u2019ll never want to wear anything else! Featuring a fully ribbed cuff, with a single rib either side on the leg for a comfort fit, and a smooth comfortable, seamless foot.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"762\">I usually suggest my socks will fit 2, maybe even 3 sizes, but I think these would be best on a size 3 foot.\u00a0 Knit with tighter tension and smaller circumference, these will fit a size 3 perfectly, but may be just too snug if you go bigger. With each wash, they\u2019ll soften slightly and experience minimal shrinkage, but they\u2019ll stretch right back out with wear. That\u2019s the beauty of knitted socks\u2014they mold to your feet and last for years! They\u2019re also machine washable at 30\u00b0C (I usually use the wool setting for mine).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1520\">Buy quality, buy once.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1522\" data-end=\"1525\" \/>\n<p data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1652\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Penelope Knits Socks!\u00a0 Soft and warm, fully ribbed socks and machine washable too<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4110,"template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[81],"product_tag":[100],"class_list":{"0":"post-4123","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-socks-to-fit-uk-size-3-4","7":"product_tag-socks-uk-3-4","8":"product_shipping_class-medium","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-variable"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/penelopeknitstop.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/penelopeknitstop.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/penelopeknitstop.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/penelopeknitstop.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/penelopeknitstop.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/penelopeknitstop.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4123"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/penelopeknitstop.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4123"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/penelopeknitstop.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
