Sock craft knitting kit
Our latest and greatest use for the wool we produce is socks! Shetland and alpaca yarns are very soft, and therefore not very hard wearing. However, they lend themselves to knitting comfortable bed socks or socks that are worn indoors.
This craft kit contains three 50g skeins of Rails Farm DK yarn. You have a choice of colour and wool. You can either purchase 100% Shetland or a Shetland/alpaca blend of 85/25 %.
The shown knitting needles are not included but can be purchased.
