These pretty textured socks have a hidden message. They are comprised of small triangles facing up and down, the alchemical symbols for the elements of water and fire. Whether you connect to these opposing elements or not, the surface they create is unique. Once you get familiar with the different triangles, it’s easy to customize the socks by working them in a different order or changing the leg – or foot – length.
