Elisabeth socks
The Elisabeth sock is a sock knitted with a wide, double-folded rib cuff that continues with double cables down the leg and on the top of the foot. The Elisabeth sock is designed to be worn with both sneakers and short boots, where the decorative rib cuff will be visible and add a stylish touch to your outfit. The sock is designed with a classic reinforced heel flap and a grafted toe, ensuring a comfortable fit.
Elisabeth socks is knitted in our sock yarn Önling No 18, a soft and durable yarn blend consisting of 75% wool (non-superwash) and 25% recycled PET from plastic bottles. This makes them both comfortable and strong – a long-lasting and stylish everyday sock.
