The Tippi Folk Sock

£85.00

Inspired by the beautiful old ways and wise traditions of folk knitting these socks are created with comfort and beauty in mind. Hand knitted in a pure wool to a fairly tight tension these Tippi Socks have been washed in hot soapy water making them wonderfully firm, comfortable and extremely warm.

Hand knitted in the round from the top down using an old Baltic Herringbone cast on traditional to sock making, followed by a deep cuff of traditional Baltic knitted lace, the Tippi Socks have a simple textured stitch detail running down both sides of the leg, through the ankle to the foot finishing at the toe. They have a traditional turned heel and a beautifully decorative Estonian toe shaping.

This particular pair of Tippi Socks are knitted in a Swedish/Finnish pure wool yarn with two strands of the yarn held together.

Available in One Size (?? cm (?? in) foot circumference and ?? cm (?? in) total length), about a size 6 or 7, with plenty of positive ease making them easy to pull on.

Care Advice. Pure wool really doesn’t need to be washed that often. When the time comes though, hand wash in warm water with a gentle wool detergent. Roll up in a towel and gently squeeze out excess water. Carefully reshape and dry flat.
