The Aldbourne socks are inspired by the namesake town where they have four prominent barrows and a rich history. Your pair of Aldbourne’s are the perfect addition to your sock drawer. Designed to be boot socks and house socks; the longwool yarn, Yorkshire Medley gives them durability.

The slipped stitch heel allows for extra strength, and the ribbing across the arch helps hold the sock onto your foot and minimizes movement in the boot. The Barrow Stitch is rhythmic, making these socks fast to knit!
