Oak and Pine Socks Kit
€55,00
Hooray, it's Socktober again! This year, we're celebrating with a very special guest: Ksenia from Life is Cozy. Ksenia has designed a brand-new pattern for us, the Oak and Pine Socks, in one of our favorite yarns, Alb Lino. The socks are a gorgeous interpretation of quintessential fall knitting! In Ksenia's words: "The pattern was inspired by the shapes of oak and pine trees so that you could pick some lovely yarn, start knitting, and watch your very own forest grow on the needles!“
I couldn't resist, I just simply had to pair this sock pattern with a few sock-inspired creations by some of my favorite small business makers. Enter: The Oak and Pine Socks Kit!
The Oak and Pine Socks Kit includes
- Printed and digital Oak and Pine pattern
- 100g of Alb Lino in a colorway of your choice
- Large "Cozy Socks" stamp by Katie Green
- Set of Fibre Jewels stitch markers by Alex Collins
- Drawstring project bag (100% organic cotton) featuring Caroline Frett's "The Knitter" illustration
If colorways run out, you'll see a "preorder" button. You can absolutely still order the kit, it will just take a few days longer to arrive as we first have to get the yarn from Schoppelwolle.

Yes and yes! You can purchase any extra skeins (say, if you want to
lengthen the body or sleeves of a sweater) at the same time as purchasing your
kit. Simply head over to the respective individual yarn listing and add the skeins you'd like to purchase extra to the cart. Shipping will be combined, and we'll always match the dyelots. -

All our yarns are non-superwash yarns, so any project made from them is best washed by
hand in lukewarm (not hot!) water, using a little bit of wool wash or
gentle soap. Take care not to wring the FO, but gently squish any
excess water out of it, wrap it in a towel, roll it up, and do a little
"dance on the towel" to press any remaining water out of the item.
Then, lay it flat to dry.
