ABOUT
When October comes around, I want cozy socks and warm colours. These cable socks are an ode to October, the feeling of the season. Knit in DK yarn, they’re a speedy knit with simple cables. The textured heel flap is a comfortable fit, and the long cuff is perfect for folding over, or wearing tall with boots.
