The socks on this page are knitted by Marianne Wakerlin (alias, the Socklady). She has a thriving company in rural Vermont surrounded by acres of deep woods, a brook, perennial gardens and a clear night sky. She makes these socks out of a cotton blend, 80% cotton, 19% nylon and 1% lycra. The left and right foot in a pair are mismatched, but, as Marianne puts it, they are mismatched with care! They have the same five colors and same pattern design but the colors are knit in a different order. These are really fun , warm and cozy socks. These socks are perfect for stocking stuffers, laying around watching TV, hanging out in the dorm, or a gift for someone who is under the weather. Pick up a few pair for yourself and your friends and you will find out why Marianne says, “life is too short for matching socks”! .....Marcia
