Arbon Socks
Arbon Socks (previously part of John Arbon Textiles) is a small business based in Somerset. We produce luxury socks made from natural fibres including alpaca and British wools. The majority of our yarns are still spun for us by John Arbon down in Devon. All our socks are knitted for us in England.
We source the fibres for our socks in the UK as much as possible, and use the wool from British breeds such as Blue Faced Leicester and Exmoor Horn. You can read more about the fibres here.
You may buy our socks through this site, over the phone, by mail order, or at our shop, Woollen, in Frome, Somerset (please see our latest News for service updates).
Sock of the Month
£18.00
The Frome Fairisle sock is one of our newer sock designs. It's knitted in a very soft Falklands Corriedale wool with 30% polyamide for stretch and durability. This is a slightly longer dress sock with a plain knitted heel and toe and a plain ribbed cuff. The socks have been knitted for us in Scotland.
The traditional fairisle motifs are knitted in eight different colour combinations of greys, creams, madder, olive, khaki brown and blues. The Madder, Kent Blue, Olive and Gold colourways all have dark grey heel, cuff and toe. The Khaki, Blues and Blue Madder colourways have a mid grey heel, cuff and toe. Our new cream colourway uses colours of light blue, brown and charcoal on a cream base.
The sizing is slightly different to our other socks. The small which is a shoe size 4-7 has a leg length of 23cm or 9". The medium size fits shoe sizes 7.5-9.5 and the large, shoe sizes 10-12. Both these sizes have a leg length of 31cm or 12".
Our Sock of the Month offer is two or more pairs for £15.50 per pair.
