KNIT ALL THE SOCKS!!!

PLANET FRIENDLY SOCK YARN

We took our super soft and squishy Brown Cormo fine wool yarn and blended it with silk fiber for the most dreamy and REAL sock yarn on the planet!  We love our Cormo's for their maternal instincts and human oriented personalities. They're the best mamas we've got and all around delightful sheep. The finest yarn available is just icing on a fleecy cake!

Never super washed, and is raw brown color that the Cormo's actually are.  We will be adding a over dyed color collection, but wanted you to first experience the yarn in its true glory.   

Our sock yarn stays true to our commitment to the planet.

All of our yarn, and nearly everything we make and sell is compostable. No synthetic materials to prevent the wool from breaking down after a lifetime of responsible use. Most sock yarns blend with nylon for durability. Not us. We are #UNAPOLOGETICYARNSNOBS and don't like the icky feel of nylon against our bodies. So we blend with 15% bamboo for a sustainable strength giving yet still planet healthy alternative.

 Do not dry or store in direct sun. Hand wash & care for it like the heirloom it is. Natural dyes soften & fade like your favorite jeans, getting softer in hue with time. This is not a defect. It's nature.
