My vintage Circular Sock Machine, Bessie, is an Imperia, made from solid chrome and cast iron in circa 1929.\u00a0 She’s a beaut, and I’ve been hand cranking socks since March 2023 – making socks on one of these machines is certainly an art form in itself.<\/p>\n

Made from good quality 75% Superwash wool\/25% nylon blend, these socks are practical and hard wearing and will last and last.\u00a0 Once you’ve tried knitted socks you’ll never want to wear anything else.\u00a0 So comfortable, so warm, so long lasting. Featuring a fully ribbed cuff, the ribbing continues across the top of the foot for a great fit but comfy too.<\/p>\n

These\u00a0 are knit on a smaller cylinder so have a narrower foot diameter than my standard range.\u00a0 Perfect for those of us with smaller feet.\u00a0 Will comfortably fit a size 3, and will stretch to a slim size 4.<\/p>\n

Continuing to softening with each wash, you can expect a very small amount of shrinkage initially, but it shouldn’t alter the fit as they will stretch back out with wear.\u00a0 That’s another bonus with knitted socks – they stretch and fit a wide range. And these are machine washable at 30 degrees (although I usually wash mine on the 30 degree wool setting).<\/p>\n

Buy quality, buy once.<\/p>\n

Please note that due to self-striping yarn, the pattern may vary slightly depending on the size ordered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
