The Fibre Co One Sock Colorwork

Description

One Sock Colorwork brings seasonal celebration to your needles with charted colorwork that captures the beauty of autumn and winter. This versatile 3-in-1 design offers both charted and written instructions for three distinctive motifs: autumnal acorns that capture the essence of falling leaves, festive holly stripes perfect for holiday gatherings, and playful snowmen that embrace winter’s whimsical spirit. Each design transforms the classic sock silhouette into a canvas for seasonal storytelling, making these perfect for gifting or treating yourself to handmade comfort.

Knitted in The Fibre Co.’s Amble, this eco-conscious fingering weight yarn exemplifies thoughtful design and environmental responsibility. The blend of Easy-wash treated Merino wool and alpaca delivers exceptional softness and comfort, while recycled nylon adds the strength and durability essential for long-wearing socks. Amble’s chlorine-free treatment process and use of diverted industrial waste reflects a gentler approach to yarn production, creating machine-washable luxury that doesn’t compromise on environmental values. Step into each season with socks that celebrate both natural beauty and sustainable craftsmanship.

Kits are also available for One Sock Colorwork in Snowman and Candy Stripe.
