Druidstone Socks
|
|
Super warm and stretchy, these socks will keep your feet warm no matter the weather. They can be worked in a plain colour or with a variegated yarn for a variety of looks, suitable for your next day at the office or a walk along a stormy coastal footpath.
The Druidstone Socks are worked in a wide rib pattern which is softly cushioning and feature gentle shaping around the ankle and arch to hug the foot neatly. There are three different sizes to suit both men and women, and they can be worked with a turn-over cuff or with a neat contrast-coloured top edge. . For more details, please see below .
