All Tide Up Socks Kit

Inspired by shapes and forms from inside sea shells, All Tide Up Socks features a beautiful front panel of delicate lace. These socks are knit from the cuff down, to the heel flap and gusset, finishing with a classic wedge toe. The lace detail incorporates 2×2 twisted knit cabling, yarn overs and decreases to create a unique shell-like texture.

These socks are knitted in our specially designed sock yarn, Amble, which is spun from a blend of machine-washable Merino wool and alpaca as well as recycled nylon. The Merino wool and alpaca fibres have been treated using an eco-friendly alternative to the superwash process, which makes this project truly something you can be proud of.
