Somerset Marl
£17.50
The Somerset Marl is a warm, comfortable everyday sock with a wide, 3 x 1 ribbed leg and instep, plain knit sole, heel and toe and 1×1 rib cuff. The sock is knitted in a marl with the toe and heel in a solid colour.
By mixing alpaca and wool, the sock has excellent insulation and wicking properties. By adding nylon, the sock has enough stretch to give a good fit over a range of sizes. The yarn was spun and organically dyed here in the UK for us. I’ve also used it to knit the Somerset Shortie and the Somerset Contrast socks.
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. This yarn has not been Superwash or shrink resist treated, so please wash and dry gently.

Somerset Marl – Ankle Length, Marled Socks
British Wool and Alpaca Everyday Socks
The Somerset Marl is a warm, comfortable everyday sock with a wide, 3 x 1 ribbed leg and instep, plain knit sole, heel and toe and 1×1 rib cuff. The sock is knitted in a marl with the toe and heel in a solid colour.
By mixing alpaca and wool, the sock has excellent insulation and wicking properties. By adding nylon, the sock has enough stretch to give a good fit over a range of sizes. The Somerset Marl is knitted from the same yarn as the Somerset Sock yarn which is available for hand-knitting from our Town End yarns website. This yarn is a blend of 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. I’ve also used it to knit the Somerset Shortie and the Somerset Contrast socks.
The Somerset Marl is available in eight autumnal colours by knitting a strand of two different colours together to create a marled effect. We left some of the yarn undyed as it is naturally a lovely grey/oatmeal colour.
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).
Composition: 46% British Alpaca / 46% British Blue Faced Leicester Wool/ 8% Nylon. This 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.
