Foroais, Irish for forest, was a motif designed for the way fresh snow hangs on evergreen branches in the winter forest. These cozy 100% wool socks feature a cuff-down construction with colourwork details at the cuff and toe, and an afterthought heel.

Sizing is based on the circumference of the foot. Socks will then be knit to desired length.

Fingering Weight

I strongly encourage you to consider a 100% natural yarn without nylon or superwash! Keeping your tension tight and using a 2+ ply fingering weight yarn will help keep your socks sturdy without washing plastics down the drain. <3
