SALIX CAPREA SOCKS by Twinset & Purl

Designed for the March 2023 Botanical Yarn Sock Club, Salix caprea, or pussy willow, bears fluffy catkins before the leaves unfurl in spring. The lace pattern I chose made me think of the first delicate leaves signalling the start of the new season.

This colour way was exclusive to the sock club but Sophie has lots of lovely yarn for you to check out at https://botanicalyarn.com/
