The Humbug Socks were designed in collaboration with the wonderful dyers behind Qing Fibre, and the sample socks were knit in a special (secret) colorway. The Humbug Socks were inspired by Charles Dickens’s famous cantankerous protagonist Ebenezer Scrooge, and his long nighttime trek through the cobbled streets of London with the ghosts of the Past, Present, and Future!
