Somerset Contrast Sock
£17.50
A comfortable, everyday, unisex sock with a contrast heel and toe. The Somerset Contrast is a warm, comfortable alpaca contrast dress sock. This sock is a slightly heavier weight than some of our other alpaca dress socks as it has been knitted a bit more closely. By mixing alpaca and wool, the sock has excellent insulation and wicking properties. The nylon gives the sock enough stretch to give a good fit over a range of sizes. The Somerset Contrast has a plain knit toe, sole and heel with a 1 x 1 ribbed cuff. I make these in three unisex sizes, small (shoe size 4-7), medium (8-10) and large (11-13).
Composition: 46% British Alpaca / 46% British Blue Faced Leicester Wool/ 8% Nylon. The yarn has not been superwash or shrink-resist treated, so please wash and dry gently.

The Somerset Contrast sock is knitted from the same yarn as the Somerset Shortie. This is the Somerset Sock yarn which is available for hand-knitting from our Town End yarns website. This yarn is a blend of naturally coloured British Alpaca and Blue Faced Leicester wool which I collected from local farms and sorted at Town End in the Lake District. The yarn was spun and organically dyed here in the UK for us. The natural colour of the yarn is oatmeal which have used in some of the socks.
These socks are knitted to our specifications by a traditional family run textile business in Yorkshire. I make these in three unisex sizes, small (shoe size 4-7), medium (8-10) and large (11-13). These socks do come up slightly larger than some of our other socks – please contact us if you require any advice.
Composition: 46% British Alpaca / 46% British Blue Faced Leicester Wool/ 8% Nylon. The yarn has not been superwash or shrink-resist treated, so please wash and dry gently.

Care Information
Our natural fibre, unisex socks are kinder to your feet than synthetic alternatives, but this means they need a gentle wash. We recommend our alpaca and wool socks are gently hand washed and rinsed in tepid water, squeezing gently rather than wringing. A vigorous machine wash (whatever the temperature) with too much detergent or long spin, may result in shrinkage.
Leave to dry naturally and do not put in a tumble dryer.
