“The Volturi… are the closest thing our world has to a royal family… you don’t irritate the Volturi… unless you want to die…”– Edward Cullen, New Moon

The Volturi are a rich and powerful family of vampires who feast upon humans, while maintaining their position as the tyrants of the vampire world. These top-down socks feature a Baroque-inspired lace detail that would be suitable for royalty. The back of the leg is worked in 3x1 ribbing all the way down the heel to ensure a snug fit. Knit in the deep and sensuous ‘Red Red Wine’ colorway by Lolodidit on her merino/silk/yak base, you’ll soon have a pair of socks fit for nobility!
