The Vespertine Socks were inspired by the quiet of evenfall on a cabin porch. The contrasting textures of wooden siding and mossy garden stones catch the falling light and transform as the sun dips below the horizon. These fingering weight socks are knitted from the top down and feature a heel flap construction and enchanting textures.
