Description

This beautifully intricate sock design features delicate lacework separated by columns of tiny cables, and stockinette stitch worked on the bottom of the foot. Chalkhill Blue Socks have a distinct summer feel and are perfect to work on when travelling as it’s small, portable and detailed. The socks are worked top-down, and feature a slip stitch heel flap for durability.

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 fibers have been treated using an eco-friendly alternative to the superwash process, which makes this project truly something you can be proud of.
