The Roller Stripe Socks are featured in the ebook collection: Raincloud & Sage Sock Club Spring. Though they feature R&S Nord, they were designed to be a stash busing project as you’ll need between just 10-20g of your two contrasting colorways.

R&S Sock Club is an ebook collection focusing on socks knit from natural (non-superwash, no nylon) yarns. All the patterns and content is intended to inform & inspire your sock knitting process. This pattern incorporates two of my top tips for knitting socks with no nylon- knitting at a tighter gauge to strengthen the fabric and incorporating an afterthought heel for easy removal and re-knitting at a later date.

The Ebook is available for digital download as a single purchase or as part of a kit (with the Nord yarn required for the pattern) via the Raincloud and Sage Website.
