Bluem Sock - Foggy Morning

About Bluem Sock:

Bluem Sock is 75% British Bluefaced Leicester wool/25% nylon, spun at a local mill and hand-dyed by Susan here at Monkley Ghyll.

Bluem sock is a Fingering weight yarn, worsted spun with a high twist making it perfect for socks. The Bluefaced Leicester yarn is a soft but resilient fibre and combined with a small amount of nylon, it creates the perfect fabric for socks. The yarn shows off texture, cables and lace to great effect and the fibre combination takes colour beautifully.

All shades are limited edition and dyed by hand here at Monkley Ghyll in a range of shades inspired by the landscape on this hillside farm.

About Foggy Morning:

Early mornings in late Autumn bring with them fog drifting up from the river in the valley below. Looking out of the farmhouse window reveals a blanket of grey covering the landscape on the other side of the glass. Foggy Morning is a soft cloudy grey with hints of deeper tones appearing like shadows out of the fog.
