Snowdonia Sock

Just re-stocked!
High twist, worsted spun Romney and Hebridean make up Snowdonia Sock. Designed from day one as a durable, straightforward base, Garthenor is able to achieve the stunning undyed gradient simply by mill-blending the buttery smooth tops.

Everything about Snowdonia Sock is deliberate: the fibre is chosen for it's strong, smooth characteristics, the twist has been carefully measured to keep the gorgeous integrity of these two breeds whilst achieving the necessary long-lasting ruggedness of a good, honest sock yarn. Note: The average adult sock will require two skeins of Snowdonia Sock.

Garthenor Organic was the first company in the world to make yarn that was certified organic from sheep to shelf, and they've never stopped being planet-loving trailblazers. Recently, their mill was featured alongside the National Woollen Museum in a segment on the revival of Welsh wool and the local industry. A must-watch for fiber lovers!
