Designer’s description: Gansey is the name given to the hand knitted sweaters traditionally worn by fishermen of the 19th and 20th centuries that featured intricate, often geographically unique stitch patterns. They were usually seamless and knitted in tight spun wool on small needles to produce a sturdy, weather resistant garment that kept the wearer warm and dry in the harsh conditions at sea. Forest Gansey Socks are my own take on the historical jumpers – knitted in traditional worsted spun Guernsey 5ply wool yarn, these socks will keep your feet warm and cosy and serve equally well in boots for outdoor stomping or as comfy house socks. Worked cuff down with classic heel flap and gusset construction and square heel turn for a good fit. Leg and foot length can be easily adjusted to suit. There are two different stitch patterns, leg lengths and toe finishings which can be mixed and matched to create your own perfect Forest Gansey Sock.
