BOBBY SOCKS YARN KITS USING OUR VERY SPECIAL OWN HAND-DYED LONK WOOL - LOCK - IS NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER. Please note, this kit does not include the Bobby Socks pattern. The pattern is only available by purchasing A STITCH IN TIME VOLUME 3.
The Bobby Socks pattern begins with a highly decorative colourwork cuff which sits over a closer-fitting ribbed section. The socks have a short leg worked in stocking stitch before a standard heel flap is knitted followed by a stocking stitch foot. The socks are knitted in the round and the pattern is a great introduction to sock knitting techniques, working in th round and also stranded colourwork.
The Bobby Socks are knitted using Susan Crawford Lock sock yarn which uses our own Lonk sheep fibre, a designated rare sheep breed. It is spun for us in nearby Yorkshire and dyed in-house by Susan's daughter, Charlie. Ten shades are used in total for these fab socks to match the beautiful Bobby sweater. Susan choose a fresh spring-like range of shades, from the soft, sky-blue of Edy to the bold yellow tones of Sissinghurst.
Choose from either the colourway shown or alternatively choose the 'custom' option to select the shades of your choice from the beautiful range of hand-dyed colours in
Lock. If you are already knitting the matching Bobby sweater, you can purchase a single 100g skein of the main colour and use the left-overs of your other colours to knit the colourful cuff. The yarn provided in the full yarn kit includes enough yarn to knit the larger size Bobby socks
