Six pairs of woodland socks.

These are some examples of woodland socks. They range from the cosy comfy toasty to the hardy hard wearing types of socks. For comfort mossy socks are your best bet. Whilst woven grasses and reeds are robust and resistant to anything the woodland can throw at you and your feet.

1. The Last Snows of Spring Moss Sock. Extra cosy. Can also be used as bed socks.
2. The Sweet Bluegrass Sock. A smooth woven grass and reed sock. It is covered with a fine layer of algae for extra comfort. It also helps the wearer slip their foot into their shoe more easily.
3. Heather Hill Heathery Socks. Smooth woven heather socks made from the best quality heathers from Heather Hill. Comfortable and yet deceivingly durable.
4. The Knobbly Bobbly. A mixture of grass and heather make up these all seasons socks. Not for those with very ticklish feet.
5. The Three Moss Sock. A real treat for your feet. Like walking on a cloud. Made from three of the very softest mosses. These too can double up as bed socks.
6.Bobby Socks. Woven grasses and reeds completed with a seed pod hold up.

To research the textures of the socks I placed them on the end of my fingers and wiggled them about. You could also use your toes.

  1. I'll take #5 - where is the order form?! So beautiful and mossy..but I'll need matching shoes. You wouldn't happen to draw shoes do you?

  2. Shoes? Andrea draw shoes?! What a concept! :-) Love the socks. I can't make up my mind, so I'll have to collect enough lawn clippings to make the whole set. Beautiful textures and colours!

  3. Dan, it's in the mail. You do live over near the old wise oak on the bank of raspberry river, right?

    Cheers, Avital.

  8. Thank you, Ellen.
    It can sometimes be quite confusing (the world through my eyes, that is!).
