Embrace the changing of seasons. Autumn Fade starts with the green leaves of summer which gradually lose their leaves to the bare branches of winter. Autumn Fade is made with 2 colours that are striped together to fade from one to another. Giddy Aunt Yarns have created these colours especially for The Seasons Sock Club.
