I will be donating 50% of sales for the first month from its release to Caritas Project Compassion. Caritas is a fantastic organisation looking to help end poverty and this is a great way to support their cause!

A whimsical and stunning design, the Dancing Wings Socks are a beautiful knit inspired by delicate Hummingbirds dancing in the clouds. The socks are knit from the cuff down in stockinette stitch with a hummingbird motif on the front done in stranded colourwork.
