ARISING by LINDA DUBEC with yarn by KNITCRAFT & KNITTERY Intricate, yet graphic cables - meet Arising! The cables ensure a wonderful fit on your foot while the contrasting heels, cuffs and toes keep it interesting. Combined with sustainably farmed Australian Merino from Knitcraft & Knittery, this results in a sock that does not only not look like your typical cabled pattern, it also doesn't feel like it.

PROVENANCE by KEIKO KIKUNO with yarn by THE FIBRE COMPANY The shell pattern used on the leg portion of the Provenance Socks has us dreaming of the sea - or a calm weekend spend at home, looking through photos from our last vacation. Paired with The Fibre Company's Merino Masham Mohair blend, these socks are as comfortable as they are long-lasting.

REASON by BECKY SØRENSEN with yarn by OYSTERS AND PURLS A herringbone center panel with cables and twisted rib - the Reason Socks pull out all the stops. Knit in Oysters and Purls All-American Sock Yarn which is a blend of Targhee and Columbia, these socks are incredibly fun to work up and will keep your feet toasty warm.

ROOTS by CLARE MOUNTAIN with yarn by WHISTLEBARE Mohair is not only one of the cosiest fibres out there, it is also among the most durable ones. When paired with Wensleydale like in this Whistlebare yarn it makes the perfect base to showcase swirling cables, rib and moss stitch. The Roots Socks are going to keep you incredibly warm - and they're definitely going to hold up!

SOURCE by ALLISON JANE with yarn by GREEN MOUNTAIN SPINNERY Is there a better way to showcase beautiful yarn than a gorgeous centre cable on a sock? We don't think so - and Green Mountain Spinnery's Tencel blend certainly deserves the spotlight! Combined with a few columns of ribbing and twin cable on the back of the leg, the Source Socks are sure to become a new favourite.

ASCENT by SARI NORDLUND with yarn by RETROSARIA ROSA POMAR Hot pink? Check. Lace? Check. 100% Portuguese wool yarn? Check. The Ascent Socks combine a few of our favourite sock knitting elements - and they're incredibly addictive to knit. And with that hot pink they're sure to be a pair you'll never lose in your box of socks!

OrigiN by JESSICA GORE with yarn by OVIS ET CETERA A delicate cable surrounded by geometric rib and topped off with one of the most fun cuff shapes we've ever seen - meet the Origin Socks! They're a perfect to show off plant-based yarn strengtheners like the ramie in the Ovis Et Cetera base which not only gives the yarn shine, but durability as well.
