Skerries Socks Kit Colourway 2

These socks are knit in 5ply Shetland, inspired by a Fair Isle Jumper knitted in Skerries featured in 'A Shetland Knitters Notebook' There is one row which uses 3 colours so they are technically not 'Fair Isle' but they are so effective its worth it! They feature a peasant heel which is knit as you go rather than afterwords.

Kit contains pattern and yarn to knit:
