Proper Sock – Cape Carnival

US$24.00

Proper Sock is a yarn designed specifically for making everyday wearable socks. With 25% nylon it’s durable. And the 75% wool gives a beautifully soft feel. Hand knit socks have seen a huge revival recently.  It’s a profound act of love to knit someone a pair.  They won’t care if you use shorties, the magic loop, or good old-fashioned double pointed needles. As long as you knit them.  So grab a good pattern and get going!

Cape Carnival is an annual event on January 2nd where the city bursts into colour, music, singing, dancing and parades. The occasion is rooted in the slave history of Cape Town when slaves were allowed only a single day off work in the year and they used the opportunity to celebrate. And so the city does too! To find some matching solid colours try one of the colour ingredients: Chilli Pepper, Hot Pink, Aubergine, Camps Bay, Olive, Lemon, Guinea Fowl.
