These pretty socks are a fun project, with enough going on to make you want to press on to the next step without being so tricky that you set it aside for a quiet moment (the point at which, in my experience, most projects stall!).

Knitted in the lovely new eco-friendly biodegradable sock yarn from Kremke, the jolly colours add a fun pop to the feminine eyelet sitch, whilst at the same time affording a slight nod to the traditional school socks which we all wore and loved!

They look great using just one shade throughout, but I opted for a pretty contrast edging and highlight toe (mainly so that I have the excuse to make another pair of socks in the opposite colourway wih the yarn that’s left!).

This yarn was specially developed for those who refuse to choose between vibrant colors, high quality, and a green conscience.

The Sustainable Secret: Most traditional sock yarns rely on standard synthetic fibres to stay durable. Sole Mate changes the game by using biodegradable nylon. You get the same strength and longevity you expect from hand-knitted socks, but without creating microplastics that last forever. Combined with 75% soft virgin wool , it offers a natural, breathable feel without compromise.

The classic yardage of 425m per 100g ensures crisp stitch definition, making it easy to track your progress and see your beautiful work come to life.
