Spring/Summer - Lightweight Sock
This beautiful sock comes in 2 sizes Med (5-8 UK/EU 38-42/US 6-9 and Large (9-11 UK/EU43-45.5/US 10-12)sizes.
As always, it has been a pleasure working on this exciting collaboration with Blacker Yarns. Kit available.
I love the name ‘BaM-booZLe’ and the versatile attributes this yarn brings. A great product to work with in the Spring/Summer and its delicate nature is lovely to handle. a lightweight (Limited Edition) 4-ply yarn. (20% Bamboo blended with 40% of Romney and 40% of Bluefaced Leicester)
A sock design was the obvious choice, as the yarn, with the bamboo content, is antibacterial, hypoallergenic, thermo-regulating and also absorbs moisture. All really important for
keeping your feet in tip top condition in the heat. Not only does this fine work, have all these positive features this season but they can also double up as an extra layer of warmth for your feet, in the depths of Winter…. I will certainly be trying this!!
There is a great choice of colour to suit all tastes…. What are you going to choose?”
As I have said in the pattern, always do your Tension Square and adjust as stated, if need be.
