British Wool Socks in Caramel

The perfect cosy wool sock that are equally comfy worn at home or inside your favourite ankle length boots. With a wide rib around the foot and ankle, with a narrow 1x1 ribbed cuff they allow for movement and comfort, without loosing shape, in a classic mid calf/crew length. 

The yarn used to knit these socks is an undyed natural ecru shade of high quality British wool sourced from sheep that roam freely on the fells and downs of the British Isles. It has been carefully selected and spun at Shepley yarns, a family owned spinners based in Saddleworth in the Pennines. 

The yarn then made the short trip to Carmarthenshire, Wales to another long standing family own and run business, this time a knitters named Corgi who have been designing and making the best socks and knitted accessories since 1892.

Finally, the socks made their way to me in Cornwall to be carefully prepared and hand dyed using foraged and home grown plants or waste food stuffs. These dye batches are produced in limited numbers, so each item is completely unique and exclusive to you! 

The sourcing and manufacturing route for this item has been carefully considered to ensure that this product is a full end-to-end produced within the British Isles natural product.
