In many cultures around the world, moths are a symbol of transformation, change, and searching for the light in the darkness. They are just like most of us, trying to make our way out of the dark.
Featuring delicate colorwork motifs around the leg and foot, a ribbed cuff, and a garter stitch short row heel. These socks capture the beauty and uniqueness of our fluttering nighttime friends.
