Inspired by hand spun yarns, Andrea Mowry brings us her "curio" socks. Curio meaning a "rare, unusual, or intriguing object" these socks showcase the beautiful shifting tones of Spincycle's Dyed in the Wool. These socks are knit from the toe up with an afterthought heel and includes sizing for the whole family - socks for babies, children, men, and women! The pattern recommends magic loop, but you can swap in double pointed needles or Chiaogoo shorties if that feels better for you!
