Meet Jolan, my new toe-up sock design. I named them after my mother, who taught me to knit, and this is the least I can give her in return.
The Jolan Socks were designed in collaboration with the beautiful and talented indie dyer, Judy, the person behind GigglingGecko yarns.
The socks were inspired by nature and its beautiful green colour.
