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.
