Our latest batch of Frome fairisle socks have been made by our knitter in the Scottish Highlands. As before, they have been knitted in a very soft Falklands Corriedale wool , but this time we have added some brown fibre so that we have ended up with a light oatmeal/grey yarn. Some of this we have left un-dyed and the rest has been dyed for us in Yorkshire. The darker fibres add depth to the yarns. The sock is knitted with 30% polyamide for stretch and durability.
The Frome Fairisle is a slightly longer dress sock with a plain knitted heel and toe and a plain ribbed cuff. The sizing is different to most of 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 26cm or 10".

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 Marl is a warm, comfortable everyday sock with a wide, 3 x 1 ribbed leg and instep, plain knit sole, heel and toe and 1x1 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.

A comfortable, everyday, unisex sock with a low-profile ribbed cuff. The Somerset Shortie has a plain knit toe, sole and heel with a 3 x 1 ribbed instep and short, 1 x 1 ribbed cuff.
The Somerset Shortie is available in a small range of autumnal colours by knitting a strand of two different colours together to create a marled effect. Most of the colourways also have a single colour toe and heel.
These socks are knitted to our specifications by a traditional family run textile business in Yorkshire.
