Verdure

Step into the world of cables and texture with Verdure. Inspired by the lush green hiking trails in the Pacific Northwest that take you out of the city even for a brief moment. Being surrounded by towering trees as you walk along the moss covered paths, these socks are fulled with twists and turns and a bit of moss stitch. These will keep you knitting just one more round and before you know it, they are off the needles and ready for your next adventure.
