High twist, worsted spun Romney and Hebridean make up Snowdonia Sock. Designed from day one as a durable, straightforward base, we’re able to achieve the stunning undyed gradient simply by mill-blending the buttery smooth tops.

Everything about Snowdonia Sock is deliberate: the fibre is chosen for it’s strong, smooth characteristics, the twist has been carefully measured to keep the gorgeous integrity of these two breeds whilst achieving the necessary long-lasting ruggedness of a good, honest sock yarn.
