Farola Boot Socks—socks so warm and snug you’ll never want to take them off. These DK-weight toe-up socks are a beginner-friendly delight. The innovative forethought heel utilizes stitch saver to avoid any cutting or picking up stitches.

Farola Boot Socks have an adjustable leg height, a feather stitch cuff peeking out of the top of your boots, and a video tutorial to walk you through every step of this new technique.

I found the yarn for Farola at a gas station in the Faroe Islands. Yes, really, gas stations sell yarn in Faroe! Navia Sock is a blend of Faroese, Shetland, and Australian lambswool with a bit of nylon for durability—perfect for keeping even the chilliest toes warm.
