“I designed the Thaba Socks, inspired by mountain peaks which are the backdrop of the little valley town where I live.
Knit from the top-down, they feature twisted ribbing and a fun cable panel that mimics mountain tops stacked on top of each other.
A longer length of leg and the sturdy yarn base makes them perfect for outdoor adventures or cozying up indoors.” - Dawn

A plastic-free, non-superwash, workhorse kind of sock yarn in the most beautiful range of colors: Meet Schoppelwolle's Alb Lino!
Alb Lino is a blend of 85% German wool and 15% French linen. The linen acts as a natural strengthener and gives the yarn a gorgeous heathered look. The wool is sourced from Wanderschäferei Stotz, nomadic shepherds on the Swabian Alp.
