Product Details
Create handspun socks that are durable and resistant to abrasion yet soft and elastic. This is the author's version of the pattern & accompanying article “Nature’s Nylon: Natural Alternatives for Stronger Socks” published in the Winter 2022 issue of Spin Off Magazine.
The colorwork pattern on this cuff-down sock pattern with heel flap and gusset is created by slipping and cabling select stitches; colors are switched every round making wrangling multiple yarn colors a bit easier as only one color is used at a time.
