These firmly knit wool socks were designed for fly fishermen to keep their feet warm even when wet. Simple design features help to both deflect water and keep heel comfortably seated during active outdoor activities. So if you end up in the water, simply wring ‘em out, put ’em on, and continue to enjoy your great day (because the wool will keep you warm, wet or dry; and these lightweight socks are quick-to-dry).

One size fits most men but they are easily adjustable for varying sizes.

Wool yarn is recommended to insure a full day of warmth when outdoors. Gauge of 8 stitches per inch (with a firm hand) helps to aid in water resistance and warmth when wet.

One skein of the Knit Picks Stroll Tonal Sock Yarn (Kangaroo color) completed my socks, with some left over.
